This gentle, moving picture book is about the circle of life and the importance of community connections, as seen through the eyes of a Hmong American child. Gorgeous illustrations full of rich textures are by Korean artist Seo Kim. #ownvoices #kidlit

An author‘s note about the story cloth in this picture book explains that it‘s a traditional needlework technique that visually represents the experience of the Hmong people.

I like the references to Hmong culture, with which I'm not very familiar. This book sees death through the eyes of an empathetic child, in a sensitive way. The illustrations are amazing.
