This was a quick and adorable read dealing with grief and accepting change. The highlight for me was the illustrations -- the watercolors were absolutely gorgeous.

A short but touching story of a family caring for an injured young deer in the wake of a death in their family.
Without many details, but beautifully illustrated and still able to convey so much meaning, Missing You shows how death can effect everyone. Children learn that even adults don't always know the best way forward, but that life continues on.
It lives up to the blurb comparing it to Bambi and The Fox and the Hound, be prepared with tissues before you read this!
