Cara tokoh aku dalam mengatasi rasa kehilangannya adalah dengan menutup semua barang yang mengingatkannya pada mendiang sang kakek. Dia yang dari kecil hidup bersama kakeknya dan melakukan berbagai hal bersama, merasa bahwa hidupnya selama ini tidak lagi sama. Dia berpikir selama ini sudah melupakan memori terkait sang kakek, tetapi nyatanya dia tidak pernah lupa.
Buku ini memberikan sebuah harapan bahwa hidup bisa kembali berwarna lagi meskipun kita pernah mengalami kehilangan. Di buku ini, harapan itu datang dari seorang gadis cilik yang meminta tokoh aku untuk mengajarinya melukis. Suatu kegiatan yang juga sudah tidak ia lakukan sejak kakeknya meninggal.

Ow my heart! This is such a sweet story about grief and carrying on a loved one's legacy. If you're looking for picture books that help little ones understand/cope with death, this is a great book to try.

Sometimes, the only way to deal with the absence of a loved one is to lock things away - be they memories or physical objects.
The boy copes with the death of his grandfather, Dadaji, by locking everything away. The paintings. The paint. The paintbrush. And his joy and creativity.
A small child reminds him of their shared past, and helps him rediscover his Dadaji and his memories and joy.

A boy learns from his grandfather, to paint while he is alive, to remember after he has gone.

Unfortunately, loss of loved ones, and its accompanying grief, is a part of life. Books can provide solace for those of any age. But finding the ones that may help a young child can be particularly challenging. In Dadaji’s Paintbrush, Rashmi Sirdeshpande embodies bits of her grandfather and father to share how our loved ones remain a part of us through the gifts, both tangible and intangible, they have given us. The pencil & pastel art is soothing and serene bringing an overall sense of peace and comfort to this touching story.
