A little boy is worried about his cat, George, who has been gone for several days. Together with his dad, the boy goes out to look for him. Along the way, they talk
about losing someone you love, and what it means to be dead. Or gone.
Many children lose someone they love or miss someone who is no longer around in their everyday life. It can be difficult to know how to talk to children about loss and
death. This book can be a good starting point. It is also a beautiful story, from a multiple award-winning master on the subject.
