Ross is worried about Lord Jeffry. His tiny pet woodlouse will not wake up, no matter how much Ross hopes he will.
With help from his big sister, Ross begins to understand that Lord Jeffry has died. That sounds final and strange and sad, so the two children head to the library to look for answers to a very big question: where do living things go when they are not here anymore?
Gentle, curious, and surprisingly lighthearted, this picture book gives young readers a safe way to think about loss. Ross’s questions are honest, his sadness is real, and the story leaves space for comfort, wonder, and the different ways families may imagine what comes next.
