Description
This book was a treasure trove of paratextual elements! The owner used it as a safe place to stick little pieces of paper that meant a lot to her, including a valentine of a rabbit that reads "Honey Bunny" on the other side, a list of vocabulary words that she was finding and underlining within the book, as well as some pressed leaves of plants! This book wasn't just an item for her to read, though her marks and notes in the pages show that she was doing that, but it also acted almost like a bank to hold her scraps of memories.
