Annie showed this to me and asked if I had tissues..
After reading it Ohhh. I had tissues in my hand. A story which touches the sensitive issue of death and moving on. But remembering the good times and memories. Beautiful illustrations by Bruce Potter and lovely story written by Sarona Aiono-Iosefa.

About how a girl, her Mother and her grandparents deal with the death, several years earlier, of her father.
The "pipi swing" is a dance the grandparents teach the girl done to encourage pipis to the surface.
Would be useful as a book to help talk to children about death.
