One Wave at a Time: A Story About Grief and Healing

32 pp. | Whitman | April, 2018 | Trade ISBN 978-0-8075-6112-6 $16.99
(3) K-3 Illustrated by Ashley Crowley. Kai describes his feelings about his father's recent death as "waves" that come over him "in no special order": sad waves, mad waves, even sometimes happy waves. When his family joins a group of other bereaved families, Kai learns coping techniques. The naive, childlike mixed-media illustrations express emotional changes through color. A useful book for individualized child-adult sharing. An author's note and resources are appended.
