Reach for this book when your child feels caught in the crossfire of your own arguments or is struggling to process the heavy silence that follows a family loss. Ten-year-old Henry is sent to stay with his grandmother for the summer, a move that feels like an exile while his parents' marriage unravels. In the quiet of his grandmother's mourning for her late husband, Henry discovers that healing doesn't happen in a vacuum. It is a gentle, realistic look at how children internalize adult conflict and find their own path toward hope through unexpected connections. This story is perfect for middle-grade readers who appreciate emotional depth and need to know that their family's struggles do not define their entire world.
