Memories of loved ones will always fill the mind. The Basket, brings the loving memory of a little girls grandmother back to life every time she looks inside of it. The basket is now physically empty, but the love and memories will forever make it emotionally full. ( )

Similar to the Memory String by Eve Bunting or a few others whose name escapes me right now, this story of a basket that gathers memories as it passes down through the generations of a family os wonderfully told. It seems focused on the sentimental value that a seemingly ordinary object can have for a family. ( )
