Summary: |
The author reminisces indirectly by depicting and describing outfits she wore at times of loss in her life. This clever book has a limited audience: urban (especially New York), women, and people interested in fashion design. |
Teaching Ideas: |
Because the author focuses the narrative on clothing and only indirectly on the divorce of her parents, the death of her mother, and her own divorce, learners might want to create a timeline or summarize the sequence of events. Students interested in fashion might pick a favorite outfit and write a story about it or write about an event in his or her own life and illustrate it. |
