Sage's thirteenth birthday was supposed to be about movies and treats, staying up late with her best friend and watching the sunrise together. Instead, it was the day her best friend died. Without the person she had to hold her secrets and dream with, Sage is lost. In a counseling group with other girls who have lost someone close to them, she learns that not all losses are the same, and healing isn't predictable. There is sadness, loneliness, anxiety, guilt, pain, love. And even as Sage grieves, new, good things enter her life―and she just may find a way to know that she can feel it all.
In accessible, engaging verse and prose, this is a story of a girl's journey to heal, grow, and forgive herself. To read it is to see how many shades there are in grief, and to know that someone understands.

School librarians are collaborators. They make connections between people and resources within and outside the school community. Like a counselor, librarians listen to students and faculty and offer ways to scale, promote, produce, and sometimes even fund, their ideas. They organize events within and outside the library. They see common threads and connect disciplines.
School librarians are curators. They listen to students and purchase books to meet their individual interests. They select and organize material with the specific learning goals of students in mind. They teach others how to be curators too, focusing on how to ethically borrow and collect with the purpose of creating new knowledge.
School librarians love to promote reading and the "new literacies" when given the chance. They can touch upon all the "new literacies", digital, media, information, coding, and teach that reading is fun.
