Deze bespreking is geschreven voor LibraryThing Vroege Recensenten.I really enjoyed this book and then read it to my child. It helps explain feelings about death and grief to young children. Death is compassionately explained in a way that's more simple and much easier to understand by kids which is always helpful when you are going through grief and at a loss for words.
Deze bespreking is geschreven voor LibraryThing Vroege Recensenten.What a lovely short story about losing a loved one and cherishing their memory through going through their things in an attic. I like that Xavier wanted to be held in the green swing. Eventually he puts his cat Comet in it, and then he, his mom and Comet sleep with it on top of them. This sweet story shows the importance of keepsakes to hold memories alive of those who are dearly departed.

So I could relate to this "picture book about loss, intergenerational love and the power of family keepsakes." I would have liked to see a little more about the other family keepsakes that are only mentioned in the book, and a little less about the green baby swing (which is more like a baby sling, in my opinion). Still, this would be a good book to share with a young child who's lost a loved one.… (meer)
