When I Was a Little Girl

In this lyrical memoir, a young voice invites listeners into the hazy world of early twentieth‑century childhood, where days stretch and contract like elastic ribbons. The narrator recounts school routines, the anticipation of holidays, and the endless games of counting “Nows” and “Thens,” all rendered in a playful, almost musical cadence. Simple pleasures—ginger tea, ice‑cream, the rhythm of a town clock—anchor the reminiscences, while the narrator’s unique sense of time turns ordinary moments into miniature adventures.

The book weaves gentle poetry with vivid illustration, offering a quiet conversation between the adult remembering and the child still dreaming. Listeners will hear the soft rustle of paper dolls, the whispered promises of secret doors, and the tender longing to relive a world where imagination ruled. It is a comforting journey for anyone who cherishes the bittersweet echo of their own childhood days.
