An uplifting picture book story about love, laughter, and loss.
Once there was a lady with the loveliest laugh in the world. She and her daughter share big loud belly laughs, quiet giggles, and sometimes secret laughs between just the two of them. Until one day, the lady dies, and her laugh goes away with her. At first it seems impossible to go on without the lady - but when the little girl finds her laugh again, she knows that, no matter what, the memories and love that they shared will always be there. This reassuring and beautifully illustrated picture book is the perfect way to open up conversations about grief and loss with little ones.
Simply yet powerfully told, The Laugh is a beautiful, gentle story with tender and expressive illustrations, and a comforting message about the ways we hold loved ones close even when they're no longer with us. -- Harry Woodgate, author of 'Grandad's Camper'
Tender, delicate and joyful. A story of loss, illustrated and told with real emotion. -- Jarvis, creator of The Boy with Flowers in His Hair
[The Laugh] talks honestly about death and at the same time it celebrates life. It provides comfort that life will improve without in any way diminishing the loss. -- Chris Haughton, author of 'A Bit Lost'
