Brief reviews and thoughts about children's and young adult books by Minnesota authors (or illustrators), or about Minnesota.

Remember That
Friday evenings are special because it is the time that a young girl and her grandmother can spend together. Grandmother teaches her several important life lessons, concluding with the phrase, "remember that".
