The Old Woman Who Named Things

by Cynthia Rylant

Cover of The Old Woman Who Named Things
Ages 5-8

An old woman names everything she loves — her car, her chair, her bed. But she won't name the stray dog that keeps visiting because she's afraid of losing things she names. A tender, wise story about love and letting go.
