Industry Reviews
"Lovely illustrations, a grieving protagonist and an inventive discussion guide make Barbara M. Joosse's GHOST WINGS a meditation on death with dimension....The story is unusual in its forthright approach to death and the intimate way it shows, through its first-person narrative, the healing power of ritual. Joose captures the feelings of powerlessness death brings, then wisely offers children control of their world by inviting them to describe important relationships--and objects they associate with them--in words and pictures."
