Imagine Wanting Only This by Kristen Radtke
5.0

First of all, exquisitely illustrated. The story opens with the death of a beloved uncle from a disease Radke shares with him. She then travels through adventures, among ruins, contemplating mortality, her own, ours, whole cities, civilizations and ecosystems and arrives back at her central questions: "Who knows which pieces will matter? Who knows what will be significant when we have all moved on to whatever is waiting or not waiting?" And "We forget that everything will become no longer ours." Beautiful.
