| Publisher Description: Just as the sun sets to make way for the rising moon, or snowflakes melt only to return as fog and mist, things that disappear in nature often reappear in different forms. This picture book uses this simple but powerful metaphor of disappearance and reappearance as an entry point for talking with children about death. Drawing examples from nature--seeds, stars, and even the growth of children into adults--this book provides a bright and joyful framework for readers to begin to understand the passing of a loved one, or to help shape difficult conversations around death. Written in accessible verse and illustrated in bright washes of watercolor, this is a beautiful, gentle book that invites young readers to find comfort in transformation. Built around the idea that death can be thought of as a kind of regeneration, the narrative shows how a loved one's presence can be felt in meaningful and enduring ways. |
