A virus is a chance, said her grandfather
A chance?
It's a chance for change, he said.
Finally... a book that softly shines a light on loved ones lost through the global pandemic. The inevitability of seasonal changes underpins this poignant look at nature's purpose in death, the beauty of new beginnings, and the constancy of love.
A perfect platform to inspire conversation with children about life, death, and loss through a gentle, yet profound conversation between a grandfather and his granddaughter. His sweet message of hope and optimism is beautifully paired with twenty-nine incredible images by iconic First Nations artist, Daphne Odjig, and a compelling Foreword by Maxine Noel (Ioyan Mani).
This glorious book opens the door to endless thought-provoking discussions you won't want to miss!
