Praise for Always Remember:
"Without mentioning a deity or religion, the text discusses how people remember those who have died and how their lives live on beyond them. Understated, unsentimental, and gently done."--Kirkus Reviews
"A sweet and poignant story with multiple layers for delving deeper."--School Library Journal
"This makes a comforting choice for families dealing with loss."--Booklist
