A gentle story of a boy and his larger than life best friend. I liked the way this story honestly dealt with grief, loss, and the questions we all have when dealing with the death of someone we love. I appreciate how this book never felt heavy handed, or moralizing. The questions the boy had were treated with respect, and even though the adults couldn't give him concrete answers they gave the love, support, and space he needed so he could deal with his loss, and learn how to move on without his best friend.
