"A sensitively told meditation on grief, the interconnectedness of the world, and the necessity of community support after loss." --Publishers Weekly
"An elegant pairing of words and images gently tackles a difficult concept." --Kirkus Reviews
Lily loves helping in Grandma's beautiful garden. She and Grandpa help make sure everything's growing strong.
One day, Grandpa lets her in on a secret: pointing to an ant, he says that everything is a part of something bigger. One ant is part of a colony. One rain drop becomes part of the ocean. One star is part of the universe.
When Lily's Grandma passes away suddenly, Lily struggles to deal with and understand her grief. She comes to realize that they are all part of something bigger - a family - and that LOVE is the biggest thing of all.
