Things That Go Away — Beatrice Alemagna

The picture book Things That Go Away is a playful ode to things that come and go in life -- and the one special bond that never fades.
 
There are many things that go away: Leaves fall, tears dry, music lasts only for a few moments, and bubbles pop, vanishing without a trace. Everything in life passes, moves on, or transforms -- except one thing that never fades.
 
With her signature warmth, playfulness, and beautiful illustrations, Beatrice Alemagna reminds us that in a changing world, the love between parent and child remains constant.
