A sweet, poetic story about a little boy who can't sleep and goes to his father. The cut out illustrations were innovative and eye catching. ( ) The story of a restless night for a father and son as they cope with the grief of losing a wife and mother. The father and son talk, look at the stars, and hold each other close. This story perfectly captures the feeling of grief; you can really feel the sadness and emptiness of these characters on this cold winter night. The text is haunting and gentle and the illustrations are so different from anything I've seen: photographs of 3-D paper sculptures with simple pen and ink drawings. The last page of the story feels all too true for families dealing with loss: "'Everything will be all right,' says Daddy. 'Are you sure?' 'I'm sure.'" I can see this book stirring up a lot of questions and conversation. "It's quieter now than it's ever been," in a nearly colorless room, and a sleepless child goes to his solitary father for comfort, asking about the birds and the fox outdoors, and whether his mother will ever wake again, and is told, "'No, not where she is now.'" The pair venture out, the boy wrapped in his father's coat and arms, seeking solace in the stars and the wide, winter night. Warm color suffuses the house when they return, both reassured that "'Everything will be all right,'" as outside red-breasted birds eat proffered bread and the sky lightens. Cut-paper diorama and ink illustrations are haunting. aucune critique | ajouter une critique
