Beautiful and heartbreaking!
This book handles the subject matter in a delicate and meaningful way!
I thought the length was well-suited to the topic.
I think this book could help a lot of readers.

A cathartic book if you are feeling sad, Telephone of the Tree uses simple but compelling prose to follow a young girl through the stages of her grief. While the story is simple, this book felt very intimate, with the dynamic text placing the reader directly in the character’s headspace. It’s weird to say, but this book emotionally felt like putting on a favorite shawl or cardigan on a blustery day; it doesn’t do much to keep out the chill, but you wear it for the comfort it brings. If this were on my shelf I would not think of it often, but would be happy to find it in arms reach on the days when all I need is a safe, comfortable cry.

This was a beautifully done story about grief and the support of community. It felt realistic and the characters didn't just feel like.
A written character. I was engaged with the story and how the characters felt and how they were working in the story. The writing style was perfect and I enjoyed the use of trees and makes a great children's novel about grief. I hope to read more from the author.
