 OK:\n\nAs a young woman\, Miss Irwin was a kindergarten teacher who loved 
 introducing the world of discovery to her students. As a grandmother\, she
  often reflects on her wonderful days exploring with her students. When he
 r grandson asks her about a mysterious box on the shelf\, she gets lost in
  memory and her mind transports her back in time to when she was Miss Irwi
 n. At first her grandson is confused\, but remembers his grandmother's for
 getfulness and plays along as the student who made the bird's nest inside 
 the white box.\n\nAllen Say's breathtaking artwork and emotionally powerfu
 l and thoughtful text gently weave a touching story about memory and famil
 y. Together\, the grandmother and grandson rejoice in the meaning and beau
 ty of memory before all is lost. Miss Irwin helps readers of all ages bett
 er understand and interact with loved ones who are experiencing memory los
 s.\n\n<em>Miss Irwin</em> will be available in the JANM Store. Find Allen
  Say’s other books available now in <a href="https://janmstore.com/coll
