This is a lovely book about Love and Loss and Home. The illustrations, as always, are gorgeous. Kate Banks’ books often read more like poetry and each page makes one want to linger and discuss what’s unsaid on that page and what the words mean. Depending on your child, this book might be better for an older child, maybe 4–8 because in beginning the old woman dies and we spent time when my daughter was 4 talking a little about what death means. It’s not scary it’s just a fact of life. This story is also about strength and perseverance through difficult times. Once again this team delivers a heartwarming story that can be read again and again.
