<b>In this deeply moving picture book, a girl heals from the loss of a loved one by making up funny and creative names for everything in her life.</b> <p>Melanie names everything she sees and thinks and feels<i>. </i>She calls her big brother <i>Mister</i> and her least favorite dinner <i>No Thanks. </i>Her baby sister's nose is <i>HONK!</i> </p><p>Most of all, Melanie loves coming up with names that make Mister, who is sick, laugh. His hospital gown is a <i>Daytime Slumber Party Dress.</i> His pain is <i>Ouch Ouch Go Away. </i> </p><p>But then, one day, Mister dies. Are there any words to describe what it feels like to lose someone you love? Melanie cries tears that she calls <i>Ocean Eyes</i>. She names death <i>Why-why-why-why-why?</i> </p><p>As time passes, though, Melanie begins to understand that her brother is still with her: in the breeze and the stars and her dreams. And she feels the stirrings of a new emotion -- one whose only name is<i> Peace.</i></p>
