(2) K-3 Illustrated by Cathie Felstead. This touching, unembellished story is told in the first person by a young girl and illustrated with colorful collages composed of childlike drawings, jagged paper-cutouts, and other significant items. In a straightforward telling that relies on the situation's inherent sadness, the narrator gathers together memories surrounding her father's death from cancer. This is a practical model for talking with a child about illness and death.
