From the author of Michael Rosen’s Sad Book comes a moving story of loss and acceptance.

Michael’s son Eddie has died. But does that mean he has really gone?

Michael decides to go and look for him. Visiting the places they went together and speaking to his friends and siblings, he discovers how Eddie is alive in their memories. Eddie is still here.

Simply told, and with emotional honesty by former Children’s Laureate about his own experience of losing his son Eddie, this is a vital book for children dealing with grief and loss, showing how a loved one can be kept with you through memories.

Illustrated with warmth and sensitivity by acclaimed illustrator Gill Smith, and with an afterword by Michael Rosen.
