“It’s never complete darkness. You can always find a shimmer of light, some hope, some kindness. From even the worst times comes some good.”

When Impossible Happens is a gentle, but honest take on the confusing nature of loss and grief from a charmingly stubborn 9-year-old’s perspective. The story follows Swara as she navigates her life and relationships during the midst of Covid lockdowns.

Jane De Suza does a fantastic job of taking the reader through Swara’s grief and showing some of the different ways her family grieved in comparison. This book stands as a gentle reminder that death doesn’t mean we completely lose a loved one; they live on through us – sometimes in the form of knitting, sometimes in the form of an adventurous spirit.

De Suza is an obviously talented writer with an engaging and likable writing style. The book includes some really cute illustrations to help picture Swara’s neighborhood and made the book even more lovable.
