Reviews

“This sensitively written book delves into such a sensitive question that is intrinsically felt but never verbalized by children. The characters are simply portrayed, warmly portrayed and profoundly articulated. This is more than a bilingual book for children. It reaches to the core of our need to understand those we love.

Furthermore, the cultural diversity within these pages creates a willingness to create diversity within ourselves. The tenderness and the compassion in this book acknowledges that love can be expressed and remains eternal.”

— Robert Abel Jr MD, author of Lumi’s Book of Eyes and other books

“As adults we might not stop to ponder a simple question like “where will your love go”, but in this book Grandma answers that question in a way that her granddaughter can visualize as a constant and tangible part of her life. These simple words and beautiful illustrations will show children and parents alike how the love of someone special can remain around them if they look and listen for it.”

“I lost my mother, brother and grandmother within two years of each other. I struggled with this immensely as an adult and I can’t imagine processing that loss as a child. In this bilingual picture book, Grandmother comforts her granddaughter by using nature’s beauty, power, and mystery to reassure her that life continues and so does love.
