By Holly Thompson, Ashley Crowley (Illustrator)
A boy navigates the turbulent waves of grief after losing his father.
Kai faces a storm of emotions after his father's death, from anger to emptiness. As he and his family struggle to find balance, they discover that healing is possible with the support of friends. Will they learn to ride the waves of grief and find peace? This poignant tale explores the journey through loss and the power of connection.
After his father dies, Kai experiences all kinds of emotions: sadness, anger, fear, guilt. Sometimes they crash and mix together. Other times, there are no emotions at all—just flatness. As Kai and his family adjust to life without Dad, the waves still roll in. But with the help of friends and one another, they learn to cope—and, eventually, heal. A lyrical story about grieving for anyone encountering loss.
