About This Lesson
MOONLIGHT MEMORIES tells the story of a young girl who is dealing with the loss of a loved one and finds comfort and healing through creativity. The story was inspired by Amanda’s own personal experience with losing her father at a young age and using the arts to process, escape, and heal. Through her words and visuals, she realized she would always carry the memory of her father with her. What follows is an imaginary conversation with grown-up Amanda and her younger self.
