This is a collection of poems about losing things, for all age groups. From losing pencils, keys, toys, parents, siblings, spouses, trust and freindship. A very moving book of poetry. It contains excellent black and white illustrations and I recommend it for students from the 5th grade up, as well as parents and teachers.
I was moved by this collection of poetry.

I purchased this book on a whim for my 9 year old son. He found some of the ideas very sad. We enjoyed talking about the different types of losses. I definately got more out of it than he did. I have enjoyed sharing it with my friends. The poetry comes from many kinds of experiences and is a great all around poetry experience.

The photographs are haunting and the words stay with you because they are from the heart... definately not to be lost.

Rarely does a book grab hold of me and not let go until I've read and read. The poetry is of the highest quality and the photographs are stunning.
powerful voices, that speak very personally about loss

I have only skimmed through this book but what I have found fills my soul. sister by andy young on p122 speaks so directly to me and probably to millions of others. In a way it makes me feel comforted, knowing that what we all share is loss. We all have loss in our lives and we learn and grow from it and somehow become stronger. I thank Naomi from the bottom of my heart for putting her time and energy into this beautiful compilation.
