Thank you for list list. I’m always looking to add to my collection of resources. I also like The Rough Patch by Brian Lies.

Have you ever read Rosita y Conchita? It’s a bilingual story about 2 sisters, one who has died, and them trying to reconnect during Dia de Muertos. Lovely and heartbreaking. I think it would be a nice cultural addition to this list. Thanks, as always!!

Another beautiful book -- maybe more useful during non-socially distant times however...
Holes in the sky By: Polacco, Patricia
Soon after her beloved grandmother's death, Trisha's family moves to a diverse California neighborhood where she meets Stewart and his grandmother, Miss Eula, who brings people together to help a grieving neighbor.

Thanks for the list I’ve not heard of any others so it’s useful.

“Michael Rosens Sad Book” is closely related and very good,

it has beautiful llustratons by Quentin Blake

Thanks for the list of some new options. One of my favorites is Badger’s Parting Gifts.
