Want to Read"Grief has pulled her out further than she thought she could go. To the edge of what it is possible to bear, of what's habitable, and then further again."-Chloe Hooper, Bedtime Story
"You know that grief cannot be avoided. And that when it finds a person, they might look the same but they're changed: their missing person has altered the atmosphere in the house, the classroom, the playground; on birthdays and holidays; amongst friends and with the parent who survives."-Chloe Hooper, Bedtime Story
"Death entered the medical miracle of the twentieth century already camouflaged. But in scientifically advanced nations, it now takes place in hospitals or nursing homes, out of view, a medical failure rather than a natural process. And, to 'protect' our children, rarely does it make an appearance within their beautifully illustrated picture books."-Chloe Hooper, Bedtime Story
