This made me cry so much. First when they lost their child and during most of the rest of the book. Telling the story of two people trying to conceive a child, succeeding and spending their days in happy bliss while waiting for the baby. Then, things go wrong and there won't be a child and the way this was portrayed, the sorrow and the hollowness of the parents-to-be - especially the one carrying the child - it broke my heart. But the rest of the book gave me hope and I love how the author made told the story through very little conversation and more through the illustrations and the colors. The mood of the characters were truly reflected in how the book came alive.

Who should read this? Anyone who have lost a child, have someone close who have lost a child or anyone who wants to try to understand the pain and how you move on. They way this is told is open and makes it possible for people, like me, who haven't lost a child or had trouble conceiving, to at least try to understand the emotions and the way life does and doesn't move on.
