A note for parents

This is a short, illustrated picture book exploring how memories shape our understanding of parents and relationships. The story uses metaphor (three mother archetypes) to examine the gaps between how we remember people and who they actually are. While emotionally complex for young readers, the content is thoughtful rather than distressing, and the themes encourage reflection on family dynamics and empathy.
