A heartfelt story about love, loss and the joy a person leaves behind, written by multi-prize winning poet Dean Atta and illustrated by the award-winning Alea Marley.

Auntie's Bangles used to jingle-jangle as she laughed, read and made delicious dishes, and especially as she danced. But everyone is so sad since Auntie died. It feels... quiet.

Slowly, Theo and his cousin, Rama, learn to celebrate their memories of Auntie, even after she's gone.

This gentle and sensitive exploration of grief will open up important conversations and help little ones find their own way to remember and celebrate someone they've lost.
