The Boy and the Gorilla by Jackie Azúa Kramer
3.0
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?
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.
Thank you Goodreads and Candlewick Press for a chance to read The Boy and the Gorilla by Jackie Azúa Kramer and illustrator Cindy Derby!
I entered this giveaway because my son saw it and asked me to try and win it. This is beautiful sad story about a boy who loses his mother. The illustration is this book is just absolutely beautiful. After reading it I went back just so I could look at the pictures more closely. It was a sad book and hopefully about a position I hope to never have to be put in. But it still was a very wonderful read. Happy reading everyone!!
