An absolutely touching story that explores the hard reality of grieving the loss of a child. Beautiful illustrations and expert use of colour throughout created some stunning and poignant moments that hit me really hard. Not having experienced chilld loss or infertility, I did find parts hard to relate to, but overall such an important and hopeful story.
