This book is not only beautiful, but the message is full of child-like wonder and curiosity around a topic that can be so heavy and serious. Bravo for being able to lift the burden of grieving without making light of the sadness and pain. - Susan Seay, #Mentor4Moms and mom to seven children at SusanSeay.com I think this is a wonderful tool to help parents and kids begin the important conversation about loss, but also opens it up for kids to bring their own ideas to the table about where they see their loved ones. - Jennie Flynn Buckley, M.A.T., parent educator at For Kids' Sake
