Description

Gold Medal Winner at the 2015 IPPY Awards

In Cyparissus, there is a little dog who gets lost in a park, a sleeping rabbit, a horse up in the clouds, and a bird setting off on a long, long journey.

In Cyparissus, there is Irene playing jump rope, George looking up at the sky, Molly who has bad dreams, and Danny carrying a backpack full of T-shirts.

In Cyparissus, there are four winds and a tree—the tallest tree in the whole city—and it's crying...

This book helps children cope with the loss of a pet and overcome the grief process, learning to confront other losses they have in their life.
