description: A girl grieves the loss of her dog in an achingly beautiful wordless epic from the Caldecott Honorwinning creator of Journey.This years summer vacation will be very different for a young girl and her family without Sascha the beloved family dog along for the ride. But a wistful walk along the beach to gather cool polished stones becomes a brilliant turning point in the girls grief. There at the edge of a vast ocean beneath an infinite sky she uncovers alongside the reader a profound and joyous truth. In his first picture book following the conclusion of his best-selling Journey trilogy Aaron Becker achieves a tremendous feat connecting the private personal loss of one child to a cycle spanning millennia  and delivering a stunningly layered tale that demands to be pored over again and again.
