The Goodbye Book

Todd Parr, illustrated by Todd Parr

A pet fish loses a companion and experiences grief in the fishbowl. The book moves through emotions associated with loss, including the uncertainty of not having answers. The fish remembers special times with the companion and gradually heals. Support from another person is also part of the account. Bold graphic art accompanies this portrayal of saying goodbye and living through the feelings that follow.
