A poignant resource for helping children and families through the loss of a sibling
Salome was going to be a big sister. Her brother, Gerald, told her so. They watched Mama's tummy grow rounder and rounder, and their excitement grew, too. But then Mama went to the hospital, and she came home without a baby. The smiles stopped, and the house grew quiet except for Mama's tears.
Where is my sister? Salome asks. Mama gathers her and Gerald onto her lap and tells them that baby Toni is in the cemetery, but she'll always be their sister. Gerald says that she's in the spirit world. Salome looks for her all over. Is Toni's spirit in Mama's tears? Is she in the family's stories about her? Is she between Salome and her brother at the dinner table, or beside Salome's favorite tree in the backyard? As her family begins to find peace, Salome understands something important: My sister is everywhere.
In Where Is My Sister? Shannon Gibney's poetic voice captures the heartbreak of losing an infant and the love that joins family members together. Huy Voun Lee's tender illustrations guide readers with quiet grace, honoring all those who passed from this world too soon. A resource for children and the parents, teachers, and community members who care for them, this book offers a powerful reflection for those who often feel alone during the painful and transformative experience of infant and sibling loss.
