Do You Remember

Through a casual discussion between a mother and child both tucked in bed, Sydney Smith creates the nostalgic magic of looking back, mixed with the hopefulness of the day ahead in his latest creation “𝗗𝗼 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗥𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿?”

The haunting power of the illustrations and the conversation between the mother and the child in this book took me down memory lane to my endless ‘𝘥𝘰 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘳𝘦𝘮𝘦𝘮𝘣𝘦𝘳’ discussions with my parents each time I visit them. The mother and the child reminisce the happy days of picnics with dad, the first bicycle ride, the rainstorm when the power went out, the wistful smell of an old oil lamp and then of leaving home… And just when your heart gets a tad bit heavy, Sydney Smith leaves the reader with that much needed whiff of hope of living in the present moment, which one day, will become a precious memory. Book releases on 3 October 2023.
