write a memoir on a favourite piece of clothing
Answers
Answer:
Boni Ashburn's sweet little romp (poetic, descriptive and just plain fun) depicts a little girl's favourite dress being repeatedly reused and recycled into various other (and then) favourite articles of clothing (from a shirt to finally a hair bow, and when that hair bow falls prey to a puppy's sharp little teeth, the bits of remaining fabric are rescued and incorporated into a picture). While not actually presenting and describing the skills required to sew, to turn the favourite dress, the favourite shirt, the favourite tank top etc. into other articles of clothing (and in fact, the "snip, snip, sew, sew" mantra does make the entire process appear rather quick and easy, which it is not, especially for those of us who are rather untalented with regard to sewing and similar types of skills), I Had a Favorite Dress still does clearly demonstrate how reusing and recycling one's too short or too old clothes can lead to extended use, fun and a sense of pride of craftsmanship (for while the girl's mother might be the one sewing the "new" clothes, it is her daughter who proudly wears them, and declares each of them her new favourite garment, to be worn on her always new favourite day of the week).
And Julia Denos' bright and bouncy illustrations indeed are the perfect compliment to Boni Ashburn's narrative, exhibiting a wonderful sense movement, as well as the joy and happiness the little girl receives with each of her new "old" clothes. While by themselves, I would not necessarily consider the illustrations personal favourites, they absolutely and perfectly suit Boni Ashborn's lively and fun text (and yes, I do actually consider the hair bow, the final "snip, snip, sew, sew" sequence, an article of clothing, although some might argue that it is an accessory instead). Four stars for I Had a Favourite Dress (and while not anything earth-shattering, a fun and poetic interlude, especially for young girls with an interest in clothing, sewing and recycling).
