{ "item_title" : "Chip", "item_author" : [" Federico Gastaldi "], "item_description" : "Atticus and his goldfish Chip share memories in this tender and beautifully illustrated picture book about losing a pet. Atticus wakes at his usual time, ready to feed Chip. But when he reaches the fishbowl, Chip is gone. When Atticus asks his loved ones where Chip is, he gets a range of answers in the form of gentle but evasive ways of explaining the concept of death: Chip is in a better place; Chip has moved on. These ideas are confusing for Atticus. Told from a child's point of view, this honest depiction highlights the importance of memory as a coping strategy when grieving the loss of a loved one. Memories live in our hearts and keep our loved ones with us. This gentle story is an imaginative meditation on healing from grief. ★ Whimsical, appealing, and gently humorous.... Gastaldi is like a magician; both the text and illustrations retain a light touch as the child deals with his loss.... Perfectly captures a child's response to death with respect, sensitivity, and reassuring humor. --Kirkus Reviews, starred review", "item_img_path" : "https://covers3.booksamillion.com/covers/bam/9/79/885/504/9798855045390_b.jpg", "price_data" : { "retail_price" : "23.78", "online_price" : "23.78", "our_price" : "23.78", "club_price" : "23.78", "savings_pct" : "0", "savings_amt" : "0.00", "club_savings_pct" : "0", "club_savings_amt" : "0.00", "discount_pct" : "10", "store_price" : "" } }
