Addy's Cup of Sugar
Addy's Cup of Sugar
Addy has moved to a new neighborhood with her best friend and beloved kitten, Trumpet. But when Trumpet is hit by a car, Addy seeks her wise friend, Stillwater, to bring Trumpet back to life. Stillwater tells Addy she will need to find a special medicine; she must go to everyone in the neighborhood and collect a cup of sugar, but it can only come from the home of someone who has never experienced loss. Of course, after searching, Addy returns with no sugar, for there isn't a person who has not felt the pain of loss. How Addy comes to understand how this special medicine works makes for a reassuring story of consolation and healing.
Author/illustrator Jon Muth's stunning interpretation of this Buddhist tale is infused with light and compassion. And it celebrates the fragile and sacred moments we all share with those we love.
