I appreciated the text of this book more than the illustration style. It reminds us of all that goes on deep inside, underneath the surface, that often goes unacknowledged or unrecognized..."It's just like when I look at the trees and remember there are parts I can't see." "Sometimes beneath what looks perfectly still so much can be swirling around." The thoughts are profound: "Beneath something solid...can be something hollow. Beneath what's falling apart...can be what's just starting to form...Beneath appearances are experiences...Beneath actions are explanations...Beneath what's different is what's the same." I think many children may not connect with these thoughts; but for the right person at the right time who is open to exploring what's going on underneath the surface, this book may hit home and provide some comfort. Good opportunity to infer what may have happened to make Finn (and the grandpa) brokenhearted.
