Reach for this book when your child is grappling with the quiet, lingering sadness that follows the loss of a grandparent, or when they seem to have lost their sense of wonder in the daily routine. While it begins with the death of a beloved grandfather, the story is far from a typical grief manual. It is a visually stunning exploration of how we carry a loved one's perspective with us after they are gone. The narrative follows a boy searching for the mythical city of Atlantis, only to discover through his grandfather's legacy that the extraordinary is hidden within the ordinary. It is a masterful tool for parents who want to move past the initial shock of loss and help a child of elementary age find a path toward healing through imagination and observation. It teaches that while people leave, the way they taught us to see the world remains as a permanent gift.
