5 posts | 3 read
A lyrically told, beautifully illustrated book that brings comfort to children--and adults--who have lost someone they love After Old Turtle swims his last swim and breathes his last breath, and the waves gently take him away, his friends lovingly remember how he impacted each and every one of them. As the sea animals think back on how much better Old Turtle made their lives and their world, they realize that he is not truly gone, because his memory and legacy will last forever. Jago's gorgeous illustrations accompany Cece Meng's serene text in a book that will help chidren understand and cope with the death of a loved one. Praise for Always Remember: "Without mentioning a deity or religion, the text discusses how people remember those who have died and how their lives live on beyond them. Understated, unsentimental, and gently done."--Kirkus Reviews "A sweet and poignant story with multiple layers for delving deeper."--School Library Journal "This makes a comforting choice for families dealing with loss."--Booklist From the Hardcover edition.

Gorgeous art and a gentle, beautiful text that deals with death in a fully age-appropriate picture book. It focuses on the life beyond death that occurs when those we have impacted remember us.

Seeing as there are just two days left of #picturebookmonth, I ought to make a better effort! Today's book is possibly my all-time favorite PB on death and grief. It gracefully covers death in old age (with a tear-jerker opening on the scale of the movie Up) and focuses on how loved ones will live on in our memories and deeds long after they're here. The gorgeous illustrations match the beautiful message. Not to miss for children or adults.
