Review: Charming Book About Loss & Tribute
Rating: 4 out of 5

This was a really cute book about the loss of a grandmother and paying tribute to her memory. Helping children understand loss and grief is no small task, but a story like this might help them understand one of life's most difficult issues. The art in the book is very fun looking and well done. I especially like the cover graphic for the book. The other images are in that style. The aquatic theme was something kid's will get a kick out of, along with all the human-like sea creatures. The story is kind of short, but that's not unexpected of a children's story. I rated this book four stars because of at least one misspelling I noticed and because the plot included a bully which seemed kind of out of place. It didn't detract from the story at all, but it just seemed like an issue (i.e. bullying) that wasn't fully developed in the overall story. With that said, I really enjoyed this story and I think your children will as well.
