Kirkus Reviews
“This simple narrative should be an effective guide for young readers experiencing a death in their own family. Through Sam's perspective, the author outlines clear steps for coping with loss: like keeping up old habits and understanding complicated emotions... An educational but accessible picture book about how to cope with grief as a child."

“Touching story on navigating grief and the bond between kids and grandparents.”
Jennifer Senick for Readers' Favorite, 5 Star Review
“As an educator, I really appreciated the story's developmentally appropriate presentation of loss while also providing some practical strategies for kids to try...Bader's story would also be useful for school counselors, parents, or caregivers supporting a grieving child.”
