There are beautiful illustrations in this children's book. My 5 year old child did not understand the message of this book without significant explanation.

I was immediately captivated by the illustrations in this book as well as the premise. I often work with young and adolescent children who struggle with grief and loss of their loved ones, I believe telling and listening to stories gives them space to understand these complex issues and reflect on positive memories and experiences . This book was beautifully written, and I will recommend this story to children and families know who struggle with the death of a loved one.

This is a very nice story about coping with the loss of a loved person.

While the story itself doesn‘t use (or need) many words to convey the message, what comforts even more are the astonishingly beautiful illustrations of the artist.

The use of coloured pencils is phenomenal. Not only the way the artist uses the colours all together to create such a warm atmosphere, but also the masterful way they draw shadows and depths is so lively! The art style itself is so beautiful that the words are almost not needed to tell the story.

This is the story of a young boy who is remembering his Grandmother and the way he saw her, the things they did together like holding hands and eating ice cream. He is keeping her in his heart through his memories. This is a short, colorful and heartfelt picture book.

As the description says, a moving book about loss of a grandparent, coming to terms with this for children. A good book with distinctive artwork. Very good to read at a personal level, as this feels like a personal story or experience. My only slight hestitation as a store would be that it may be too personal, in the sense of children engaging with this in relation to their own experience. But recommended nonetheless.

This book is a short simple story with beautiful prose that will be great for kids to explore thoughts around grief, loss and keeping those special memories alive.

Absolutely beautiful story! It pulled my heart strings as I thought about my beloved Grandpa and Grandma who I lost a few years ago. Can we talk about the illustrations?! The bright vibrant colours and drawing style was stunning 😍 5 stars from me! ⭐️


Thank you Netgalley and Pushkin Press for the ARC!

I really loved this one. And even as an adult, this one brought me all the feels and my love of my grandparents came flooding back. I think it's so important to m teach children about death and grieving of a loved one. And this does just that.

This is a fantastic book that explores a child's grief after experiencing the loss of a grandparent. It explains that although death is a sad and unsure time, it is our memories that keep us connected with our loved ones.
The illustrations in this book are playful and have a hand drawn feel. The illustrations become clearer and more colourful as the story progresses, along with the boy's memories.
This is a great book for parents who need to explain death, loss and grief of a grandparent to their children.

This book is such a special one. It deals with grief through the eyes of a child in such a great way. The ending definitely got me! The illustrations are beautiful and I loved the symbolism!

Thank you, NetGalley and Pushkin Children's, for this ARC of That Day by Pierre-Emmanuel Lyet! 
Wow. Wow. Wow. What a beautiful story about grief and loss seen through the eyes of a child who loses his Grandmother. The illustrations are drawn remarkably colorfully with colored pencils—I believe, that are just breathtaking. 
The wording is simple yet powerful, and the illustrations perfectly capture each page's essence. I am going through grief after losing a parent this year, and I felt very connected to this story as I am in my 20s and lost my parent in his mid-50s to cancer. I may not be a child anymore, but losing a parent before you even have your own child is a really hard place to navigate. 
This book takes you along this journey of remembering those you love, his Grandmother, and all the beautiful moments they spent together making memories. The part that touched my heart the most was when he remembered the patterns of her dress and the colors. I still picture my Dad's outfits and how he picked his ties to match what he was doing or to look nice. Then I broke down crying while reading this INCREDIBLE story when it talked about forgetting the last time you saw the one you love but remembering what it felt like to hold their hand. Then, the ending of the story was just so sweet and peaceful. 
What a well-done book! It is simple in words yet perfect for anyone, especially children experiencing grief, what that may feel like, and how to navigate it. I look forward to purchasing this book for our school's library and our Reverend at work, which deals with grief counseling for our students. This book is an excellent resource, and it is well executed.
I am looking forward to more stories from this author!

This is a really beautiful book that deals with the loss of a grandparent.

The illustrations in the book are wonderful, they really bring the story to life.

The book deals with a sensitive topic in a really delicate and caring way.

The little boy in the story is not sure, and a bit confused as to why his house is full of people, some of whom he doesn't know. His grandfather is sitting alone and he doesn't know why...

The boy goes out in to the snow and starts to remember his grandma, through the snow, being outside, the snow being white like her hair. It is quite moving.

I will be getting a copy of this book should we have a loss in our family and our daughter is of a young age as it will be an ideal book to use to tale about grief and loss. It should be an addition to all schools too.

It is 5 stars from me for this one - very highly recommended!

Beautifully illustrated very gentle story to share. Perfect for raising conversations around loss and grief and missing those that are no longer there.

I loved this! I think this book covered an important topic that’s often looked over for young children. It did it in a very child-friendly way and I could imagine reading this book to my young nephew. The art style was also absolutely beautiful! I would absolutely recommend this book to anyone with a young child dealing with grief for the first time.

Thank you NetGalley.
A beautiful book about remembering our grandparents who passed away. This book sensitively explores grief. It’s about a boy confused with a house full of people. The little boy goes outside and this book captures his memories so vividly through thoughts and images. The art really adds to this story!

This was so sweet and will be a great book for any kid who is struggling with the loss of a loved one. I really wish I had this last year when we lost two people from our family. I searched, but didn't find much and this will fill a much needed void out there.

“That Day” written by Pierre-Emmanuel Lyet / translated by Sarah Ardizzone (4 Stars-Out 11/05/2024) is a beautifully illustrated reflection on a child’s experience of loss and the memories that stand out and are most important.

The art in this book is beautiful and the message is kind. The memories that come forward are ones that a child would hold tight to, and the connections between the child and other adults in their life in taking the memory of the lost grandmother is an important reminder that kids need space and comfort at times of loss and grief. The translation was good, although I was a bit confused about who was being mourned. There was also a mention of there being a perception of black and white, but the art never changed to reflect that, even for just the one page/image, which for some reason brought me totally out of the narrative.

As always, I appreciate the opportunity afforded me to have an early read by netgalley and Pushkin Press | Pushkin Children's Books.

This was absolutely beautiful and made me tear up. What a delicate way to help a child through loss.

This book is so beautiful, from the words to the illustrations. This book is about a young boy who just lost his grandmother and how he cherishes all the amazing moments and memories they had together. This would be a fantastic book to have to give to a young child grieving the loss of a grandparent. The book doesn't go in too deep talking about emotions or sadness but instead shows the readers that you can always look at the happy memories in times like this.

This is a stunning shot but captivating story exploring the grief and loss of a grandmother. It is a perfect book to support children aged between 3-7 years old. This would make an ideal PSHE book to stimulate discussions.
The connection with nature is powerful as the young boy goes for a walk and feels/sees his grandma is all the things around him.
I can't wait to get a copy for school! Thank you, @NetGalley_UK, for introducing this book to me!

I thought that was me as a little girl. Children don't see grief and death as adults do. This little boy remembers so many good moments ans details about his grandma. A perfect book to help your kids going through grief
