Those of us who've lost our mothers will surely be able to relate to the sentiments of this author's grief processing. As I read, I felt that the words could well be helpful to others, especially for those who were unable to have been present at the time of the mother's departing moments as happened to Joy Harpo, the author.
On the other hand, since the illlustrations seemed to be more culturally and personally specific for the author's situation, to me, as artful and symbolic though they may be, they did not reach out, generally speaking, and therefore, it may be the same scenario to other potential readers of the world. Overall, though, this book could well be a comfort for those made motherless.
