Everything That Shines

by David Weale, Dale McNevin (Illustrator)

This is a magical tale about a girl, Maddie, and her horse, Shekinah, and the bonds of family and friendship. It's also about growing up and having those you love grow old and leave you, and about the magical light that shines in everything when you love something very, very much- even after they're gone.

[Jess Van Dyne-Evans · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is a lovely, lovely book about what happens when a loved one dies, told in a way that children can understand. The story of the friendship between a horse and a young girl, and how her grief is lifted by her grandfather's wise words that while her friend is gone, she can be reminded of her by everything that shines.

What a touching, gentle book about loss. A beautiful way to talk about death and grief.
