A boy dealing with the loss of his father describes the many waves of emotion that come with the grieving process: sad waves, mad waves, fear waves, even happy waves. As Toby and his family learn to adjust to life without Dad, the waves still come but, with help from friends, they learn to cope and heal. This lyric story provides a sensitive account of one family's journey through grief and healing.

Reviews for One Wave at a Time: A Story About Grief and Healing

Moments are represented like pictographs, making this offering seem like a handbook or guide... The text's acknowledgement of the various emotions and slow healing process is much needed. --Kirkus Reviews
