Description
By: Charissa Coulthard, Sam Usher (Illustrator)
This poignant story of love and loss takes readers on a heartfelt journey through the changing seasons as a little girl visits her poorly Nana. Each time she visits, they remember all the special adventures they have shared together. When Nana dies, she leaves the little girl a box of keepsakes that she has secretly collected from their moments together. Through these shared memories, this moving story gently touches on the concept of bereavement in a way that is both comforting and easy for young children to understand.
Based on the author’s personal experience, The Fun We Had was inspired by the bond shared between her young son and his Nana who passed away from cancer just before it was published. She wanted to write something about loss that would ultimately celebrate how powerful and precious our memories of loved ones are — especially when we no longer have them close.
