About the Book The Hundred Penny Box
The story centers around Michael, a ten-year-old boy, and his Great-Aunt Dew, who is nearing her hundredth birthday. Michael's life is dramatically influenced by Aunt Dew's presence and her hundred penny box—a wooden box filled with pennies, each representing a year of her life. This seemingly simple household item holds a wealth of stories and history that Aunt Dew shares with Michael, one penny at a time.
The narrative takes a turn when Michael's mother, Ruth, decides that Aunt Dew's box is just clutter and wants to throw it away. Michael, who has formed a strong bond with Aunt Dew and her memories, is determined to protect the box. This conflict brings to light the generational differences in valuing material possessions linked to memories and heritage.
The story culminates in a heartfelt moment where Michael hides the box to protect it from being discarded. His actions lead to a deeper understanding between him and his mother, and a newfound respect for Aunt Dew's past. Through this resolution, readers are reminded of the importance of preserving history and the treasured memories of our loved ones.

Meanwhile, this page is active so you can order books; it just isn't quite as informative or graphically appealing as the new page will be. Thanks for understanding! :-)
