Teacher Comments: [2024] This book is hard to follow as many things are left to the student's imagination which can be a great tool in the classroom. | [2024] This is a story about a preadolescent boy who goes on an adventure with a close family friend shortly after losing his parents (inferred). During this time he is sorting through his feelings of grief and fear, especially since he is faced with saving the life of his friend. It is a warm story told through simple yet striking illustrations. The book includes the illustrator's process for creating the illustrations, and how the author, later, got to rearrange them to tell the story the illustrations told.
