520 |a "A child is building a rocket ship. They've got plans and cardboard. They bring in all the important things, from the chess board to the good snacks to the cat. And as they build, they speak to someone far away, remembering camping trips, stargazing, and a warm and loving relationship. This person now feels as far away as the stars--but maybe this rocket ship will take our narrator there. This moving picture book follows a child who's determined to build a rocket ship in honor of a loved one who's died. Dad watches from the sidelines, worried at first, but slowly comes to recognize that this is the way his child has found to grieve. Even in the aftermath of loss, we can find joy and ways to play -- and ways to remember, too. A gentle but powerful book that's sure to tug at the heartstrings of anyone who's ever lost a loved one, even as it celebrates the memories we cherish."--  |c Provided by publisher.
