What our Vetting Team has to Say…
“I like the subtle nods to pride with the flags in the pictures. I like that they show how grief can affect us without going too deep into it and keeping the story pretty light.”
“Yes. I feel like this story touches on grief, different types of families, and even different types of living (they live in their van for a while).”
“It's a great resource for pride and grief as well. Very sweet story.”
