"When you lose someone you love, the pain is real and at times takes over everything about you. In this lovely book, an older sibling is navigating and grieving the loss of a little sister. Through the delightful illustrations and the beautiful back-and-forth between the parents and their child, they can remind one another that they are on this journey together. I highly recommend this book for any family navigating grief and loss."

What a beautiful gift Teejay has shared with us through this story! Not only is it well written and has engaging illustrations, but the message of grief is explained in a way that makes sense to children and brings comfort to adults. I highly recommend this book to anyone who needs to process their grief of losing a child or who wants to help their children understand grief better. Get yourself a copy and buy one for a friend!
