Set against the backdrop of a family from Vancouver, Canada, exploring Quebec City for the first time, the story follows a young child grappling with the difficult loss of their baby sister, Clemence. As the family traverses the unfamiliar streets, memories of Clemence flood their minds, each one a reminder of the joy and sorrow they shared.

This storybook not only validates the emotions of children but also serves as a poignant reminder to other children and adults of their crucial role in providing support and understanding during times of grief. Clemence is a must-read for anyone who has experienced the profound ache of loss. Through its thoughtful narrative and evocative illustrations, it offers reassurance that it’s okay to feel sadness, shed tears, and cherish the memories of those we hold dear.
