This children’s picture book is THE resource aimed for children ages 5-7. It is beautifully and brightly illustrated that enhances each sentence on the page. This is one book I could see a parent reading with a child and also discussing the pictures. Fortunately, this is also another picture book that shows a variety of diversity in the people shown on the pages.
The sentences are simple and also bring about full understanding for the aimed age group. This book shows that children, and yes, also adults can experience grief for a variety of reasons: From death, to the loss of a pet, a move, and possible changes in life such as divorce. The book also shows children that they may feel a variety of different ways with their grief and that is ok.
Throughout the book there are even questions posed to the child that they can answer, which in turn may help the adult they are reading the story with know how to help. It also shows how children can deal with their grief in a positive way. At the end there are resources given for both kids and adults to help with the grieving process.
This is a very well done children’s book that will help all children as they will at some point in life experience some kind of grief.
I received a copy from the publisher via Amazon Vine.
