Publisher description
A heartrending picture book about a child who dons a cape in superhero fashion to help him heal after the death of a loved one. When a child loses a loved one, he uses his cape as protection from his grief. On the day of the funeral, he dons the cape like a superhero, using it to block out the pictures and stories people share, refusing to acknowledge the memories that keep bubbling up. He won't think about them. He doesn't want to. He avoids the memories, until he no longer can. Then he remembers. Their laugh, their smile, the moment they gave him the cape. The cape transforms, becoming a source of comfort and strength as the child navigates the sadness and joy that these memories bring up. In Cape, Kevin Johnson has crafted an achingly beautiful and honest story about processing and redefining grief after the loss of a loved one
