Review: Always and Forever by Alan Durant & Debi Gliori

Otter, Mole, Fox and Hare lived together in a house in the woods. They all work together and love each other dearly. One day, Fox fell ill and died. His family talks about Fox, their favorite qualities about him, and remembers him. His house was consumed by deep sadness for a very long time. Their friend Squirrel comes to their house to help them through their grief.With Squirrels’ help, they learn healthier ways to grieve and cope while remembering Fox will always be with them. The usage of animals in this book makes it very appealing for its palatability. This book openly talks about sadness, grief, and loss. The story doesn’t shy away or sugar coat the feelings that loved ones feel after losing someone. But it also helps to remind you that life must go on and it is important to find ways to incorporate the lost loved one in daily life without being completely consumed by sadness. Great for the reader who has lost someone important in their life.
