Helen's Birds

For as long as Saanvi can remember, she has been friends with her elderly neighbor Helen. When Helen dies, a "For Sale" sign goes up, and movers arrive, emptying the house of its furniture and stripping the yard of its birdfeeders. This beautifully illustrated, wordless graphic novel shows Saanvi's journey through close friendship, then hollowing loss and change, until she finally finds hope.
