Tears.
I have never been to the zoo, so I never met Ida or Gus but I am sad for them anyway. (

A book that is sweet and touching. A great book to share with someone who is dealing with the loss or illness of a loved one. I did cry, but the story was beautifully done. (

A beautiful little book about loss and grief. I loved that it took the diagnosis route. So many forget the intense grief that can happen while a person is still living. (
