Reach for this book when your child is processing a significant loss or struggling with the profound sense of isolation that comes from being misunderstood at school. Jimmy Liao uses a stunning, graphic-narrative format to tell the story of a girl grieving her grandfather who finds a kindred spirit in a quiet new neighbor. Together, they embark on a journey that blends reality with breathtaking imagination to rediscover color in a world that felt gray. This is an essential choice for children aged 8 to 12 who are more visually oriented or who find it difficult to articulate complex feelings of sadness and loneliness. By using art as a bridge to connection, the story offers a gentle and secular path toward healing. It serves as a beautiful reminder that while grief is a solitary experience, friendship can provide the safety needed to eventually rejoin the world.
