Riassunto

"A sensitive portrayal of a family working through grief together. A must-have for every library." – Starred Review, School Library Journal

“There is no playbook for mourning, but this tale provides a gentle guide for the unthinkable. (Picture book. 3-6)” – Kirkus Reviews

Mom, Dad, and I have the happiest days together, full of delicious meals, arts and crafts, and goodnight hugs. One day, though, Mom gets sick. She will never get better. Like a ball of yarn, I unravel and get tangled up in my emotions. But when Dad and I talk about our sadness, the knots slowly loosen a bit. And in time, sharing our grief frees up some room for beautiful memories, old and new.

In this moving and heartrending tale crafted for children aged 5 and above, readers are invited to navigate the journey of bereavement, love, and resilience alongside a family facing an unimaginable loss.

Complemented by professional resources in the back matter, this book provides valuable support and guidance for parents and caregivers navigating similar challenges. Perfect for sparking a conversation after losing a loved one.

A comforting book about loss, love, and strength. For children ages 5 years and up.
