General Comments: The embodiment of our most precious memories; that of love and learning how to say goodbye. Filled with eye-catching illustrations; it stirs a plethora of beautiful imagery about a long-departed love, combined with a hint of whimsical, literary humour. This small book holds such a power-ful message; compassionately painting a way to connect, to heal, and to ultimately let go. Astonishing.

Favourite Quote: ‘‘Our teacher made us write a story about what we want to be when we’re big.’ Noah tells him. ‘What did you write?’ ‘I wrote that I wanted to concentrate on being little first’.’
