A translated Dutch picture book about the hollow denial of grief, not knowing how to stay solemn or what to do or say, and sharing in sadness with others. I did not like the art style, which feels mean to say, but is true about me. The tone also felt a little bit off, but I am sure it could mean a lot and resonate to different readers.
