My daughter is a bit young for this book now but it will be a good lesson for her as it has a good example of something you like being taken away and how to deal with that.

The story is simple, but poignant as it tries to metaphorically deal with loss. I ordered it to use with my students. I am curious to test drive it with them. It is nice that the parent figure does not try to teach an unrealistic lesson that everything will be okay. Instead, there is a gentle reminder that life is about tears and loss sometimes and there is resilience in that truth.

Loved this book. This author was a speaker at a leadership retreat I attended. Love books that put real life examples in terms that children can understand.

My family and I loved this book! The pictures were very engaging and really showed a variety of emotions that even the youngest could recognize. I like the hard cover format and how it opened up discussion on emotions. Highly recommended.

I enjoyed the fact that this is a quick read to teach children about grief and loss. I also enjoyed the fact that it teaches you to not be afraid to love something or someone again, even after feeling sadness.
