Reach for this book when your child is facing a major transition, specifically saying goodbye to a close friend who is moving away. It provides a remarkably honest look at the messy, sometimes ugly feelings that come with loss, from the initial denial and anger to the eventual bittersweet acceptance. Paula Danziger captures the authentic voice of a third grader who is not just sad, but also frustrated and resentful that her world is changing without her consent. Parents will appreciate how the story validates that it is okay to be 'not okay' and that true friendship can survive even when the miles between friends grow. It is a perfect choice for children aged 7 to 10 who are navigating the complexities of school-age social dynamics and the pain of life changes beyond their control.
