Synopsis
When Auntie passes away, Theo and his cousin, Rama, feel a deep silence in their lives. They fondly remember how Auntie's bangles would jingle-jangle as she laughed, read stories, cooked delicious meals, and especially when she danced. Through these cherished memories, the children learn to celebrate Auntie's life and find joy even in her absence. This touching picture book gently explores themes of love, loss, and remembrance, helping young readers navigate their feelings of grief.
