The Paper Dolls

This book is highly engaging, with beautiful, captivating illustrations. It tells the story of a young girl’s memories with her mother as they make simple paper dolls while singing a special song, and the deep attachment she forms to those dolls. The story gently shows that life can bring unexpected dangers and losses that may take away the things we love, but it can never take away the beautiful memories we’ve made. In the end, the cycle of life comes full circle as the girl grows up, has a daughter of her own, and continues the tradition—keeping the culture and memories alive.
