1er lecture : Très beau, j’ai pleuré sa mère.
2eme lecture : Les deux premières citations que j'ai mis en bas résonnent énormément avec moi, j'ai l'impression d'avoir tout oublier dés le moment où mon père est mort. D'oublier son sourire, sa voix, son rire et tout les petits détails qui passe inaperçu mais qui sont cher à mon coeur. J'ai tellement peur d'oublié mes souvenirs de lui, que j'ai envie de tous les écrire dans un carnet pour être sûr de pas les perdre. J'avais envie de rester là à le fixer pour mémoriser tout les traits de son visage et même maintenant alors que ça fais seulement un jours qu'il est plus là, j'ai déjà l'impression d'avoir oublié son visage dans mes pensées. Même si j'ai des photos je me dis que j'aurais dû mieux m'imprégner de son image quand il était encore là.

«I’m trying not to forget what Mom smells like, but it’s fading, so I close all the windows so that it won’t get out.»


«  it’s not just Mom’s smell that’s fading - I feel like I can barely remember the sound of her voice. So I plug my ears, cover my eyes, and shut my mouth to keep it with me. (But not my nose, because I need to breathe). »


«I’m so afraid of forgetting Mom completly that once I know she’s in my heart, whenever I can, I run. I run until my muscles hurt, until it hurts to breathe. And then I feel Mom beating very hard in my chest. »


« Grandma showed Dad how to make honey zigzag, but he isn’t very good at it. I don’t say anything, since I have to encourage him if I want him to make progress. »

هذا الكتاب جعلني أبكي. لم أكن مستعدة أبدًا لمحتواه، فما كنت أتوقعه عن الكتاب لم يكن بالتأكيد طفل يحاول أن يفهم ويتقبل ويتعايش مع موت والدته. أسلوب نقي، بريء، صريح، ومباشر، ولذلك هو لاذع وموجع للغاية.

The Scar is a heart-wrenching and beautiful children’s book! I read this on #TikTok of all platforms! This book dives into the perspective of a child grieving the loss of a parent. I absolutely sobbed my little heart out! Such a powerful message in a small little book! Definitely will be a re-read for me in the future! I rated this 5 stars! ⭐️
