The new Spanish picture book by thriving novelist (How the Garcia Girls Lost Their Accents) and children's author (The Tia Lola Stories) Julia Alvarez is a beautifully crafted poem for children that delicately addresses the emotional side of death. The book asks, “When someone dies, where does he go? / Will it be with the wind when it hits him? … They wink at me — like stars when I ask a favor — blinking 'You're perfect, don't you have to be any better? … ”Illustrated by Vermont engraving artist Sabra Field, Where is it going to stop ?, is a beautiful and heartwarming meditation on death, asking questions young Spanish readers might have about what happens to the people they love afterward, that they die.
