I was expecting a cute, fantastical graphic novel with little imaginary woodland creatures. I did get that, but I also got a really poignant and wise story about how people handle unexpected loss and grief differently. The insightfulness of this book impressed me so much, and I really hope it reaches a wide audience of all ages. Check it out on KU! 5 beautiful, teary eyed stars.
