Although it uses the stages of grief model which is going out of style, this is a wonderful book that goes through the many different feelings a child can have after the death of a loved one - his dad. It would be very appropriate for kids even as young as 3 or so. The language is simple but poignant and true.

Sweet book about a little African American looking boy dealing with the five stages of grief after his father dies. Beautiful illustration.

Sweet book, beautifully illustrated about a young African American looking boy whose mom is remarried and expecting a baby and how the little boy thinks about his place in life through these changes.

This is a really special and beautiful book. I think it is very light. I don’t think it is too depressing. This is the only Everett Anderson book they have at my library. I don’t want this series to fade away.
