A beautiful, lyrical story about loss and growth and how grief can become a comforting friend.
After a little girl loses someone she loves, a new friend appears: Grief. At first, Grief is not who the little girl wants as her shadow. But then Grief journeys with her, sailing through stormy seas . . . and lights the way on an unfamiliar shore. Grief encourages her to do what she needs to: cry and shout . . . or sit in silence. Through it all, her new friend stays with her. And helps her remember.
With tender rhyme and beautiful illustrations by Andy Chou Musser, this picture book by award-winning author Jenny Torres Sanchez personifies the grieving process and reassures those who have lost a loved one that they are never alone.
Praise for Little by Little:
"Torres Sanchez frames grief as a helpful friend instead of something heavy . . . Paired with Musser’s gradually brightening illustrations, the narrative makes clear that hope is always on the horizon. A strong option to help the very young navigate grief." —Kirkus Reviews
