A bereaved father sets out on a journey of discovery in this poignant, hopeful picture book from the celebrated author of Michael Rosens Sad Book.It has been a while since Eddie died, and his father is still coming to terms with the fact that hes gone. Hes not here, hes not there, hes not anywhere. Is that the end? In a beautiful, deeply moving picture book, Michael Rosen follows a father much like himself as he interacts with the people who were part of Eddies life-his classmates, his coach, his siblings. As each person relays a memory, and as the father remembers Eddie himself, he realizes his son is still there, and that when he thinks of Eddie, each time its new. With honesty, humor, and grace, the author of the personal memoir Michael Rosens Sad Book, seen as one of the finest childrens books about loss, makes clear that while grieving may be the work of a lifetime, so too are the quiet revelations that affirm that our loved ones are still with us. An authors note offers some background and support for anyone talking to children about bereavement.
