DATE OF RELEASE: 15 JAN 2026

A moving, lyrical and uplifting picture book about love and loss, written by multi-prize winning poet Dean Atta and illustrated by the award-winning Alea Marley. Beti and his cousin, Rama, used to have sleepovers, play games and dance around. But nothing is fun anymore now that Auntie is gone - everything feels . . . quiet.

Beti remembers how Auntie's bangles used to jingle-jangle as she cooked delicious meals, as she turned the pages in their favourite book and especially as she danced. Slowly, by finding joy in these memories, Beti helps Rama to find light and love in the world even after loss. This gentle and sensitive introduction to grief, with an uplifting message, will open up important conversations and help little ones to find their own way to remember and celebrate someone they've lost.
