책 내용

Norma and her parents are going to her great-uncle Frank’s funeral, and Norma is more excited than sad. She is looking forward to playing with her favorite cousin, Ray, but when she arrives at the church, she is confronted with rituals and ideas that have never occurred to her before. While not all questions can be answered, when the day is over Norma is certain of one thing ― Uncle Frank would have enjoyed his funeral. This sensitive and life-affirming story will lead young readers to ask their own questions about life, death and how we remember those who have gone before us. 20190611_01_01.jpg 20190611_01_02.jpg 20190611_01_03.jpg 20190611_01_04.jpg 20190611_01_05.jpg 20190611_01_06.jpg
