Description from Bookshop.org: From the author of the beloved "Fry Bread" book, in this title, a boy says farewell to a loved one as he imagines her walking on into her next journey, a moving and superbly illustrated story about loss and hope by Fry Bread author Kevin Noble Maillard and illustrated by acclaimed, award-winning artist Rafael Lopez.
Joy for Books reviewer comments: "The lyrical and polyphonic prose are outstanding! Authentic, relevant, and relatable imagery that while grounded in reality also have an ethereal quality. Excellent backmatter. "Difficult subject to address for children (as well as adults)... Beautifully illustrated... I loved the Recipe for Grape dumplings at the end."
