Synopsis

In the absence of photographs depicting her childhood, this internationally published poet/author determined to "recreate" her favorite memories under cover of The Cracks in the Sidewalk—memories that might very well coincide with your own.... So, strap on your roller skates! Step over the cracks and whir along with her to a simpler time, when all kids had to worry about was making up a new game to play with their friends and getting home in time for supper. Then, •Join in a family game of catch with a bag of oleomargarine that didn't turn yellow until it got warmed up.•Turn back to the days when a masked man on a horse named Silver galloped into the living room via a radio set.•Stretch tall to peer over parade goers as you wait to see Grandpa's gloved hands on the keys of the calliope; or driving the horse-drawn hearse that makes its way down the main street for the last time. •Picture the amusing sight of Grandma traipsing to the hen house in house dress, apron, and pith helmet; and of Grandpa sitting smack dab on a cactus plant that Grandma, of all people, had placed neatly on the car seat. •Experience the joy of a five-year-old finding her all-time favorite doll beneath the tree on Christmas morning; and the sadness of receiving a cherished ring at her grandmother's deathbed. But...don't forget to bring your favorite pen along! Use the white space on the pages to jot down your own memories, whether similar or different. And for more help with coming up with those memories, read Snaps, Scraps & Snippets of the Past and Present: How to Retrieve the Lost Pictures of Your Past.
