In this tender debut picture book about finding joy despite grief, a little girl wishes to make Father's Day even better by using imagination to honor and remember their happiest memories with a lost loved one.
Giselle and Papi are happy together, but there was a time when their two was three, and sometimes remembering is painful. It can also be a lot of fun! They embark on an imagination adventure that includes rainforest hikes, intergalactic planet-hopping, and most of all, remembering Mami through her favorite activity--creating stories and new memories. This book's vivid, emotive prose makes the complicated themes of grief and absence accessible for young readers in this personal story that centers family, love, and journeys that memory can lead us on.Author Biography
