Everywhere, Still

A beautiful picture book that captures the emotions related to loss and grief!

Title: Everywhere, Still

Author: M.H. Clark

Illustrator: Claire Sahara Lemp

Publisher: Compendium

When your loved one passes away or your dearest friend is moving to a distant place or your dear one is living far away from you or it could be even your pet who is missed, there is a feeling of emptiness within and around you, but your love for them doesn't go away anywhere, it doesn't fade away. It would be still there, even when the person you care about is not near you anymore, permanently or temporarily.

There is a bird shown throughout the story, which I would imagine symbolizes comforting thoughts and our hope in the future. Our love for them and this hope, keeps us moving forward in our life!

📚 The watercolor illustrations are simple and well suited to the story's mood, content, and the poignant message.

📚 This story is not illustrated in an age-specific way, so the story as much can be applicable to different ages and situations like death or an unexpected move.

📚 Recommended for kids ages 4+
