Our Lake

"How do we carry the memory of loved ones after they’ve passed? Angie Kang’s beautiful book explores this question by following two brothers returning to a lake where they used to swim with their father. There is an undercurrent of melancholy to swimming now without their father, but together the brothers find the strength to dive back in – and in doing so, they create new memories that help keep the old ones alive. Like the still surface of a lake, this book appears quiet but contains incredible depth, immersing readers in an experience that holds heartache and joy in equal measure. (For ages 4 to 8)"
