A Stone for Sascha
A Stone for Sascha | Aaron Becker
2 posts | 4 read
A girl grieves the loss of her dog in an achingly beautiful wordless epic from the Caldecott Honor-winning creator of Journey. This year's summer vacation will be very different for a young girl and her family without Sascha, the beloved family dog, along for the ride. But a wistful walk along the beach to gather cool, polished stones becomes a brilliant turning point in the girl's grief. There, at the edge of a vast ocean beneath an infinite sky, she uncovers, alongside the reader, a profound and joyous truth. In his first picture book following the conclusion of his best-selling Journey trilogy, Aaron Becker achieves a tremendous feat, connecting the private, personal loss of one child to a cycle spanning millennia -- and delivering a stunningly layered tale that demands to be pored over again and again.

#NoFemmeber Day 9: As this girl walks by the beach, lost in her grief (an understandable #DebbieDowner of sorts) Becker takes the reader on a journey of several lifetimes – where even a golden stone washed ashore has a story as old as time, perfect for the missed dog, Sascha. There are layers to this story that can be examined again and again; it is the kind of narrative that grows in each reading. My review: https://wp.me/pDlzr-irb
