Harvey


From time to time I read a book that completely blows my mind. This is one of those books. Harvey is a children's graphic novel which deals with the subject of the death of a close family member through the eyes of a child. The brown pencil illustrations are the perfect compliment to the text, which resonates with the voice of a young boy in the playful endeavours of childhood. At the end of this story one is faced with a tremendous sense of loss and pain. This book speaks to young and old alike and will resonate clearly with anyone who has experienced the loss of a loved one. Harvey is not to be missed.
