For something heartfelt

Gone

Michel Streich, Thames & Hudson Australia

In Gone, Michel Streich sensitively addresses the topic of loss through the story of a child whose pet bird passes away. The narrative guides children through the complex emotions surrounding death and grief. The simple yet evocative illustrations use colour and composition to explore various ideas around what happens when life comes to an end. This book serves as a comforting resource for young ones and offers an accessible way to talk about the inevitable, while also focusing on the healing power of love and memory. It's an honest and beautiful guide for anyone looking to explore life's biggest mystery with children.
