Auntie's bangles by Dean Atta & Alea Marley.
Orchard Books, 2026.
Beti and his cousin, Rama, used to have sleepovers, play games and dance around. But nothing is fun anymore now that Auntie is gone - everything feels... quiet. Beti remembers how Auntie's bangles used to jingle-jangle as she cooked delicious meals, as she turned the pages in their favourite book and especially as she danced. Slowly, by finding joy in these memories, Beti helps Rama to find light and love in the world even after loss. Beti wants to be able to help his cousin, Rama, after the
death of her mother – his aunt.
A gentle story, one which acknowledges the loss felt by the
extended family.
