"I want more memories with my Dad, so missing him won't feel so bad." Meet Chloe, a little girl with a broken heart who just wants to have more memories to keep her dad's spirit alive after he has passed away. Children are often forgotten in the world of grief, and this book aims to normalize those feelings and questions that a child may have, such as wishing they had more time with their loved one, and also, where are they now? "Does Daddy live way up in space? I wonder, could that be the case?" This book also explores what it's like to find our loved ones in small moments, such as when we are looking at stars, and how these small moments can make us feel closer to them. "She waved a sparkler at a star, and felt her Daddy wasn't far." Based on a tradition of the author's family of lighting sparklers at her father's grave every Fourth of July, this book can create a tradition for you and your family, too. "So when they miss their favorite guy, they'll surely look up at the sky. And even when they think it's dark, they'll know that they can light a spark."
