"What do you do when your world turns upside-down, and your happy memories disappear? Marley's dream cloth reminds her of safe and happy times, and of the people she loves. When times get tough and the cloth rips in two, those memories begin to slide away. Marley must make new loving memories before she can bring back the old ones. Only then can she begin the imagine the future anew. Inspired by work with children after earthquakes in Christchurch and Mexico City, A Teaspoon of Light is a story about loss, despair and the repairing of dreams."--Back cover.
