A young girl learns much about her mother as she reads a collection of poems written before she was born that capture her mother's memories of living around the world and growing up as a child of an Air Force service person. Using free verse for the young girl's poems and tanka for her mother's, poet Nikki Grimes creates an intergenerational story that speaks to every child's need to hold onto special memories of home.
