Powerful and honest story about death, translated into English because only European writers seem to be able to put out this kind of material. This book by Enchanted Lion Press is beautiful.

This is such a clear voice of wondering and so many emotions around the death of a young sibling, simply related in an almost brutal way, which makes it feels all the more real because that’s how kids are, in my experience. As someone still grieving the death of my father, I appreciated the directness.

A child’s voice on a difficult thing to fathom. Never once does it downplay the emotions that someone who is young and experiencing loss will have.

A sad but very good book about a 10 year old girl processing the death of her 7 year old brother. The book is written from the point of view of Jette whose voice lends the same lightness and whimsy of any child her age while still keeping the gravity and somberness of the subject. Definitely recommend to any child or parent facing the painful topic of death and grief.
