Reviews
★ "Figurative language in first person pairs with abstract watercolor illustrations to make a breathtaking lyrical picture book that beautifully portrays Faye's sorrow and longing. . . . This book will remind grieving readers that loved ones are waiting for them with patience and understanding." --BCCB, starred review

★ "With sensitivity and immediacy, this prescient picture book charts a cathartic journey through grief to hope." --Booklist, starred review

"With spare, heartfelt text, Theule invites readers into a narrating child's deepest feelings . . . Halpin's crisp mixed-media art depicts a lush green woodland and brilliant blue water that shimmers, roils, laps, and crashes in dramatic scenes that mimic the child's emotional journey." --Publishers Weekly

"A good book to help children cope with loss and to help them discover fresh starts even during the most challenging times." --The Horn Book
