   |  |about a grieving boy and an im-
   |  |aginary gorilla makes real the-
   |  | power of talking about loss. -
   |  |On the day of his mother\'s fun-
   |  |eral, a young boy conjures the-
   |  | very visitor he needs to see -
   |  |- a gorilla. Wise and gentle, -
   |  |the gorilla stays on to answer-
   |  | the heart-heavy questions the-
   |  | boy hesitates to ask his fath-
   |  |er: Where did his mother go? W-
   |  |ill she come back home? Will w-
   |  |e all die? Yet with the gorill-
   |  |a\'s friendship, the boy slowly-
   |  | begins to discover moments of-
   |  | comfort in tending flowers, p-
   |  |laying catch and climbing tree-
   |  |s. Most of all, the gorilla kn-
   |  |ows that it helps to simply ta-
   |  |lk about the loss - especially-
   |  | with those who share your gri-
   |  |ef and who may feel alone too.-
   |  | Author Jackie Azua Kramer\'s q-
   |  |uietly thoughtful text and ill-
   |  |ustrator Cindy Derby\'s beautif-
   |  |ul impressionistic artwork dep-
   |  |ict how this tender relationsh-
   |  |ip leads the boy to open up to-
   |  | his father and find a path fo-
   |  |rward. Told entirely in dialog-
   |  |ue, this direct and deeply aff-
   |  |ecting picture book will inspi-
   |  |re conversations about grief, -
   |  |empathy, and healing beyond th-
   |  |e final hope-filled scene.
