(1) K-3 Illustrated by Quentin Blake. The narrator/author shares his profound depression following his eighteen-year-old son's death. Spreads alternate dark times, in thunderhead-bleak watercolors and empathic, masterfully scribbled line, with more colorful scenes of good memories. People of all ages frequent the illustrations, while the text, simply phrased yet never simplistic, is appropriate for all those who are, or know someone, who's seriously depressed or grieving.
