"I WILL FIND YOU EVERYWHERE" is an exceptional story of love, loss, and learning to find new ways of living that includes the ones who have left too soon. "I sat down on the dewy grass, And looked up at the sky. And when the sun looked back I saw, The twinkle in your eye. It glistened as I squinted, Like sparkles in the sea. I knew that it was you up there, Yes, watching over me." Author and artist Deborah DeLisi's beautifully illustrated tale told in verse touchingly shows how love always lives on in so many places-especially the heart. It is a story of two inseparable friends (two colorful circles) who share a special place in each others lives through their adventures and playful times together.
