The feelings that Sarah has as well as her parents are gently there for the reader to think about, especially if they have lost a loved one. Telling the story from Sarah's point of view gives a voice to the feelings children may have after losing a sibling or other special person." --WriteKnit-- "WriteKnit" (1/21/2020 12:00:00 AM)
"A heartfelt and tender book about a family dealing with the loss of a child.... This book is a great resource for families to help their child deal with grief." --Talking About Books for Kids-- "Talking About Books for Kids" (1/21/2020 12:00:00 AM)
"Remembering Ethan is a timely story concerning the loss of a loved one and the grief a young child and her parents inevitably experience. It is a valuable contribution to the seemingly limited body of children's literature on the topic.... The warm illustrations throughout this poignant text bring it to life, adding emotion and realism to the contents." --Seattle Book Review-- "Seattle Book Review" (1/21/2020 12:00:00 AM)
