“This powerful and engaging story is perfect to use as a tuning in activity for a social emotional learning session, a lead into ‘circle time,’ or as a reflective tool.
I have come across few books that promote such an open response and deep discussion from students.”
— Erin McLindon,‘Wellbeing Leader’ Holy Spirit Primary School, Thornbury
“A beautifully written story. The repeated text and breezy illustrations draw children in, and the anticipation of hearing Grace’s story is seen on their faces as they listen and read along.
Knowing the author’s motivation to write of such a personal experience of loss and love makes this story all the more worthwhile to read and share.“
— Daniela Borgese, Teacher Librarian, St Mary’s Primary School, St Kilda East
“A stellar debut picture book by Kezia Brett … Martina Heiduczek illustrates with a deep sense of emotion, peppering the story with moments of magic and whimsy.”
