Review on "Postcards for Kate" Digital Story

"Postcards for Kate" is a digital story made by Leigh, who tells the story from her own point of view. her story is about how she made 52 postcards for her daughter Kate who went away to Japan. Those 52 postcards were hand-made and created by the mother (Leigh) who started using different patterns and colors in those postcards. The postcards had mainly fabric materials inscribed with shapes and colors and figures and patterns. Leigh describes the development process of creating those 52 postcards and how intricate and precise they are. And you can see (in the video) that Leigh puts so much effort and care in it to make her daughter see and feel her handiwork. We can clearly see the love Leigh has for her daughter Kate. 


Kate, being the receiver of those cards in Japan, has kept all of those precious pretty postcards, and in her return, she brought them back with her from across Japan. As Leigh says: "52 postcards that have been on the other side of the world, that now, through my daughter, have finally come back home."
