DJ is getting ready. He is super excited about the super superhero party he's been invited to. But when he goes to put on his superhero costume, he suddenly remembers something that makes him feel not so super anymore. You see, not long ago, DJ's dad died. DJ has felt sad... ...strange... ...and a bit lonely, ever since. Things just feel different.But luckily, Mom is there to remind him that his dad will never truly leave him... and that not all superheroes wear capes...This is a tale all about loss, as told through a child's eyes. The loss of a parent is painful and complicated, and often very confusing for the children that are left behind. DJ's story gives us a glimpse into those feelings, but also a way to understand them, and even to begin to process them. This book is amazing for any child that may have had a loss, to help them begin to come to terms with the fact, and to remind them that they are not alone. It is also a fantastic resource for teaching any child about what it means to lose someone you love and to have empathy for those who may be struggling with grief. Less
