I Never Knew Your Name by Sherry Garland

This book was illustrated by Sheldon Greenberg. The illustrations in this book seem to reflect the two different boys. One page will be brighter colors and the next is darker representing boy who kept to himself. I think this book was considered controversial because the topic of suicide is delicate, personal, and brings about many feelings. This a book you have to be careful who you read it to because you never know whose life suicide may have affected. It is a difficult subject even for 4th graders and older kids.
