A family gradually moves forward after the loss of a child-a story
for readers of all ages When someone you love dies, you know what
doesn't die? Love. On the hot beach, among colorful umbrellas
blooming beneath a bright sun, no one saw a little girl walk into
the water. Now, many months later, her bedroom remains empty, her
drawers hold her clothes, her pillows and sheets still have her
scent, and her mother and father, brothers and sister carry her in
their hearts, along with their grief, which takes up so much space.
Then one snowy day, the mother and father ask the girl's older
brother, "Would you like a room of your own?" He wants to know,
"Whose?" They say, "Your sister's." Tenderly, and with refreshing
authenticity, beloved Minnesota writer Kao Kalia Yang tells the
story of a Hmong American family living with loss and tremendous
love. Her direct and poignant words are accompanied by the
evocative and expressive drawings of Hmong American artist Xee
Reiter. The Shared Room brings a message of comfort and hope to
readers young and old.
