About this ebook
Key Selling Points
- Ruthie is still grieving the death of her baby brother when her mother announces she's pregnant again. But with help from her best friend Jenna, her dog, Izzy, and a new friend who just happens to be her favorite author, Ruthie realizes that focusing on love will help get her through even the hardest loss.
- In this story, the author takes on the difficult topics of grief and stillbirth, and examines how it feels as a kid, to be powerless not just against death but also the choice of a parent to have a new baby and risk more loss. Readers who have dealt with any sort of grief will see themselves in Ruthie, and feel the catharsis of her finally letting her feelings out.
- All the Things We Found takes on other relatable topics, such as divorce and blended families, showing them realistically but also in an overall positive light, as Ruthie's aloof stepbrothers become sympathetic and supportive when she really needs them.
- The intergenerational relationship between Ruthie and Ally shows how kids and adults can learn from one another; and on a lighter note, her getting to meet the (co)author of her favorite series is a fun element that brings some levity to the narrative.
- Joanne Levy is the author of several books for young people, including Bird Brain, the Governor General award-nominated Sorry For Your Loss, and The Book of Elsie.
