A Hui Hou: Until We Meet Again

by Isabel Bugge, Ashley Bugge (With), Dawn Davidson (Illustrator), Hudson Bugge, Adeline Bugge

Overview

One day in Hawaii, while doing what he loved most, Dadda is lost in a terrible diving accident. At first, Izzy, Hudson, and Addy don’t understand what’s happened. Why is Momma so sad? Why hasn’t Dadda come home for dinner yet? Why are so many people visiting and giving them new toys? But as time passes, the three siblings start to realize where their Dadda has gone. It takes them a lot of bravery to understand why it’s OK to be happy that he gets to dive forever while also being sad because they miss him so much. A Hui Hou: Until We Meet Again is the heart-wrenching true story of a family’s devastating loss. But it is also a story about understanding, accepting, and processing death and grief, uniquely narrated by children, for children. Izzy, Hudson, and Addy share their experience in the pure, emotional, and unfiltered way needed to help young minds grasp the impossible: the loss of a loved one.

About the Author

We are Isabel, Hudson, and Adeline, and this is our story. We have been raised in a family of adventurers, and even though we’ve been through some really hard and scary times, we have been taught by our mom and dad—when he was alive—that it’s ok to be scared, as long as we talk about it and find a way to get through it. So, we are writing this book to talk about it and work through it, and we hope to help inspire you to do the same.
We have had adventures all over the world (thirteen countries so far!), and we get excited when we learn about a place and then get to see it in real life. We don’t like green vegetables, and we argue with each other sometimes, but we love PB&J and singing along to the songs of Moana, which remind us of our home in Hawaii. We love playing outside—especially at the beach—and we love being on the water, just like our mom and dad. We also think we’re hilarious.
Our mom, Ashley Bugge, has written a couple of books. If you want to read more about us, our dad, or how our family pulled through overwhelming tragedy, you can do so at www.AshleyBugge.com. You can also follow us on Instagram for updates about our latest adventures @Ashley.Bugge or @TheBuggeBabies.
