A beautiful story about loss and missing loved ones. The art is stunning and it is written simply so that young children can understand and empathise with it.

I found this book on Amazon during their World Book Day sale. They had ten different titles under their "Discover the World" theme and this one is translated from Spanish to English (it's first published in Argentina).
I have never picked up a children's book to read after my teens :-) Don't be fooled by this description though. This is a sweet little story of a mother and daughter that bond over the simple chore of daily laundry. Their conversation is simple on the surface but about profound love and loss when you think about it.
I recommend this short, wistful, picture book to everyone (child and adult) who has ever lost a cherished one and misses them, remembers them fondly but lives on cheerfully.

This won an translator’s award and I’m not surprised. Shimel is an excellent translator. He is a poet as well and translated the winning Dwarf Stars award poem from 2019. I received this book from Amazon First Reads.
In very few words and an economy of expression in the artwork as well, Wernicke tells a layered story of the longing of a child for a safe place where loved ones dwell. Some days she can go there.

Visually stunning
This short and simple book was a great read! As an adult I understand the child’s anxiety. But if I were a kid, I think I’d have to read it a few times. It was a little confusing but it was definitely something I’d gift to maybe a middle schooler idek

Serius aku nggak ngerti maksud dari ceritanya, ini anak ngomongin siapa, tujuannya apa. Tapi di gambarnya ada ibu sama anak gitu, dan gambarnya juga cantik!

When I was looking for some deals on Kindle eBooks, Some Days caught my eye. I downloaded it immediately and read it some time ago. Its a wonderful and heartfelt book which is more of a conversation between a mother and her daughter. The beautiful illustrations complete the book! It's a book I do recommend

Por conta da minha irmã pequena, eu busco sempre me inteirar na literatura infantil. É parte do que adoro fazer, e o meu jeito de incentivar a pessoa que mais amo a se apaixonar por livros.
Normalmente não marco essas leituras aqui, mas sinto que essa valeu a pena. É breve, pequena, exatamente voltada para uma criança de 5-6 anos.
Mas trata sobre o luto de uma forma delicada, e muito linda, abrindo um diálogo para a família com a criança.
É um livro incrível, sem dúvidas. Principalmente sabendo o quão difícil é dialogar sobre algo tão duro e complexo quanto o luto.
