A powerful and deeply moving story of a picture book about grief, ideal for sparking conversations about loss with young readers. A little boy has a big hole in his life after the death of his brother. He feels it in the bottom bunk where Matty used to sleep and at Matty's chair during dinner. It follows him everywhere – and he hates it. But with the help of a friend, he manages to enter the hole and confront his grief – the sadness, the anger, and the simple truth of how much he misses his brother. And when he finally feels ready to share stories about Matty again, he realizes that he can find some comfort in filling the hole with his favorite memories. This beautifully written and stunningly illustrated story uses a direct and thoughtful metaphor to explain the grieving process to young readers, and shows the importance of friendship, support, and the power of talking about your feelings.
