Publisher's Summary:
Katy Sue, the youngest of the three children, struggles to define her place in the family and understand what the loss of her mother means for her now. With the guidance of her teacher, Mrs. Breton, Katy Sue begins to contemplate the shape of her family and the farm through drawing, a process that allows her to accept her father's soon-to-be wife, the farm life without her mother, and, eventually, her own role within the family.
Critic Reviews:
"[A] poignant, bittersweet story....[Katy] is an objective narrator, sharing with the readers what it feels like to move beyond a traumatic loss without losing the memories of love. A gentle, life-affirming tale that deserves to be shared and discussed." (KLIATT)
"The honest account of a family's journey of grieving and healing is well portrayed and may be cathartic for children who have suffered their own losses." (School Library Journal)
