The book closes with a poem in two voices, and Jesse and Jerilyn come together for a new family photograph. Smile!"–and readers will. Grimes' words helped remind me to be present for my other children when I felt I couldn't go on in a world without my son. Many of the sentiments expressed by the children in Grimes' book, like concern for their parents, were feelings and sentiments I heard my own children voice as well.
Grimes succeeds in creating distinct personalities for each member of the family and distinctly different ways of dealing with their grief as well. Most of the poems by the brother, Jesse, are rhymed and shorter, while those in the voice of his older sister are unrhymed and more sophisticated in structure and introspection. Grimes addresses many areas of the grief process, often in a poignant fashion that is hard to witness; the boy hears his father crying in the night, for instance.
