A touching, poetic tale that wrestles with the complex emotions we feel when we lose someone close to us.
Losing someone you love, someone close to you, can be difficult to talk about. But, sometimes, writing a letter can help you find the words you wish you could say.
That’s exactly what a young fox realizes one morning after learning about the death of his beloved grandmother. As he longingly searches for any trace of her presence in all their familiar haunts, the young fox soon discovers that only by embracing his grief will the right words — the words he wishes he could say to grandmother — come to him.
