My Father’s Kite
Veronica D. Slater
My Father’s Kite connects two sibling’s experience of profound loss to nature and the logical sequence of the seasons as a way to bridge, explore, validate and accept difficult emotions. Beautifully illustrated, My Father’s Kite, presents grief as a life-changing process, and shows how when handled with tenderness and a connection to a bigger story, it can be life-affirming.
