MY BOOK REVIEW

"Remembering Joseph Chickadee" is a beautiful book that brings up the conversation about death. Using animals to tell the story about death is a lot nicer than just doing it with humans.  Nancy Youngdahl hit this topic in the ballpark. We learn when someone or something passes away they are missed. Each page is filled with beautiful oil painting illustrations.   It stresses how no one will forget him and how he was an inspiration. We see all of his friends dealing with grief. This is a sad but heartwarming story.
