I think this is a great book to talk about saving memories. Growing up is difficult because at such a young age you can't always remember a lot from growing up so this fun story can help you with that.

In this story Freda the main character comes to a dilemma after blueberry picking with her grandma. She realizes that she can save things by memories. The author does a great job talking about how memories can be saved and this is a great book for upper elementary school students.

4 ⭐ Freda is blueberry picking with grandma. When they can no longer eat any more, they preserve the others in jars as jam for later. Freda gets the idea that she can preserve anything, and have it always and forever. But one day while eating her grandma‘s jam, she realizes that something is missing. That something is grandma, because if you put something up to remember it, you don‘t have a chance to make new memories with it.
