"When I Was a Little Girl" by Zona Gale, is an early 20th-century story that peeks through the eyes of a young girl as she explores childhood, friendships, and the strange concept of time. The book opens with the narrator sharing her delightful thoughts on time and the bewildering world that children live in. She brings up memories of playing and just how important and free-feeling playtime would give her, plus how chores would feel whenever she was just trying to play. Set in a tone that balances nostalgia and curiosity, the narrator hopes to connect the lightheartedness of childhood with the understanding that it cannot last forever.
