Reach for this book when your child is grappling with a profound loss or feeling isolated in their grief. Sasha's story is a raw and honest exploration of what it means to lose your last stable support system and find yourself in the foster care system. It is particularly suited for middle schoolers who find it difficult to talk about their feelings directly, as the protagonist discovers that poetry can hold the weight of things that spoken words cannot. Through a lens of resilience and new connections, the story offers a path forward that acknowledges pain without being consumed by it. It is a secular, realistic, and deeply moving choice for families navigating life transitions or family tragedy.
