This profoundly moving tale about a grieving boy and an imaginary gorilla makes real the power of talking about loss. On the day of his mother's funeral, a young boy conjures the very visitor he needs to see: a gorilla. Wise and gentle, the gorilla stays on to answer the heart-heavy questions the boy hesitates to ask his father: Where did his mother go? Will she come back home? Will we all die? Yet with the gorilla's friendship, the boy slowly begins to discover moments of comfort in tending flowers, playing catch, and climbing trees. Most of all, the gorilla knows that it helps to simply talk about the loss--especially with those who share your grief and who may feel alone, too. Author Jackie Az a Kramer's quietly thoughtful text and illustrator Cindy Derby's beautiful impressionistic artwork depict how this tender relationship leads the boy to open up to his father and find a path forward. Told entirely in dialogue, this direct and deeply affecting picture book will inspire conversations about grief, empathy, and healing beyond the final hope-filled scene.Binding Type: Hardcover

LOVE THESE
Scent isn't strong but clean and pleasant. The lotion portion is very good, doesn't require a lot to do a great job of moisturiziing. I've gone back time and time again for more and hope it doesn't disappear so that its always there for me.

Lavender chamomile is ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING!
I don’t ever leave reviews but the lavender chamomile is disgusting and in NO WAY smells like lavender or chamomile! Had to pour it down the drain. The lotion is SUPER watery! If I could post negative stars, I would, it’s just that bad!
