"""A welcome addition for the preschool library. Talking to Sissy is a beautiful, compassionate picture book about the loss of a newborn. Told from three-year-old brother Oakley's point of view, the book details his excitement at the prospect of a baby sister. Pago authentically captures Oakley's voice and handles the emotional content of the subject with gentle sensitivity."" -Julie Phend, author, blogger, and teacher ""Beautifully written and illustrated, Talking to Sissy addresses a difficult topic in an age-appropriate and gentle way. Anyone needing to explain loss to a young child should share this book."" -Sharon Lyon, educator and author of Fossil Woman ""Talking to Sissy is all at once an incredibly brief yet incredibly moving story of love and grief told from a child's perspective. A sweet children's book helped along by gorgeous illustrations, Sharon Pago's story had me thinking I knew exactly what would happen, until I didn't. A digestible way for young children to understand and process loss and love without losing any of the poignancy held by either feeling."" -Abu B. Rafique, author of Of Memories and Mirages"
