Illustrated by
Joanne Lew-Vriethoff.
A child narrates the coming year in moments that will remind them of a lost loved one, some seasonal (when one paper heart is missing in February), others incidental (while writing in a gratitude journal in September). The reassuring refrain “you’ll be there” punctuates the gentle, sometimes-rhyming text. Illustrations in a pastel palette keep this serious title from feeling too heavy.
