A gentle, empowering picture book that explores eco-grief, resilience, and what it means to move forward in a changing world

The storm has passed—but nothing feels the same.

When Theo steps outside the next morning, he's met with muddy streets, broken branches, and the loss of his favorite willow tree. Overwhelmed by fear, anger, and sadness, he isn't sure how to make sense of it all. But as he walks with his grandmother through their damaged neighborhood, Theo begins to notice small, quiet details he hadn't seen before—and starts to feel hope about what comes next.

This warm, poignant journey explores eco-grief and climate anxiety through a child's eyes, offering space for big emotions while gently pointing toward the possibility of healing. Themes of resilience, renewal, and community are paired with thoughtful backmatter featuring practical tips for caregivers and educators to help children process and work through eco-grief.
