Jumping Puddles

When someone we love dies, it can be very hard to find the words to explain to others, and ourselves, how we feel. After all, feelings are feelings. They’re not words. Robbie is a young person who is struggling to voice his feelings. His dad has died, leaving him, his mum and his little sister. It takes a rainy day and some puddles to unlock the overwhelming emotions that Robbie is feeling.
