Valdivia, Paloma

And So It Goes

(3) K-3 Translated by Susan Ouriou. "Some have already left. / The neighbor's cat, Aunt Margarita, the fish in yesterday's soup. / Others will arrive." On its own, Valdivia's text might seem daunting. But paired with her beautifully composed, collage-like mixed-media illustrations--showing loving interactions among animals and various-aged people--it's clear that this wholly unique approach to a kids' grief book doubles as a celebration of life.
