So begins the poem a mother writes on a scrap of paper. She wraps the paper around a stone and places it in a basket to give to her daughter on her first birthday. They are poor, but the mother is determined that gifts will be given when gifts need giving. She keeps her promise, and the Promise Basket, too. Every time there is a need for gifts, the mother finds a pretty stone to tie up with paper and ribbon, and gives it to her daughter in the basket. She continues the tradition over the years until her daughter has a baby of her own... The love between a mother and her daughter is celebrated in this lyrical story from Bill Richardson, featuring colorful illustrations by Slavka Kolesar."-- $c Provided by publisher. 541 $d 20190808. 650 1 $a Gifts $v Juvenile fiction. 650 1 $a Gifts $v Fiction. 650 1 $a Mothers and daughters $v Juvenile fiction. 650 $a Promises $v Juvenile fiction. 650 1 $a Birthdays $v Juvenile fiction. 700 $a Kolesar, Slavka,. 710 $a Richardson, Bill, 1955-, $d Toronto : Groundwood Books/House of Anansi Press, 2019. 941 $a 6 952 $l GMPD771 $d 20230210022412.0 952 $l YEPF572 $d 20200204095137.0 952 $l TYPH572 $d 20200110081712.0 952 $l TDPH826 $d 20200104011245.0 952 $l ZBPE245 $d 20191123011833.0 952 $l DBPE173 $d 20191015015704.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=640D908AEF1111E98C638A2097128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
