Reach for this book when your child is grappling with the heavy weight of grief or the confusing silence that often follows a significant loss. This profound graphic novel explores the arrival of a long-awaited baby and the devastating sorrow that follows when that child is lost. While the subject is solemn, R.O. Blechman uses a gentle, minimalist art style and a touch of humor to show how a loyal dog named Georgie helps a family find their way back to light.
