Summary:
This profoundly moving tale about a grieving
boy
and an imaginary
gorilla
makes real the power of talking about loss. On the day of his mother's funeral, a young
boy
conjures the very visitor he needs to see - a
gorilla
. Wise and gentle, the
gorilla
stays on to answer the heart-heavy questions the
boy
hesitates to ask his father: Where did his mother go? Will she come back home? Will we all die? Yet with the
gorilla
's friendship, the
boy
slowly begins to discover moments of comfort in tending flowers, playing catch and climbing trees. Most of all, the
gorilla
knows that it helps to simply talk about the loss - especially with those who share your grief and who may feel alone too.
