Beyond the Setting Sun by Sarah J Dodd

5.0

This was a very sad story about a baby elephant losing his mum and I nearly cried reading it! It was told by the author in a very honest and compassionate way. The book has a lovely ending with the baby elephant remembering his mum by singing the song she had taught him, with his dad and aunty. The illustrations of the elephants and scenery were stunning throughout the book. This would be a very useful book to have in school or at home to help children to talk about death and loss. I would definitely recommend schools to buy a copy. The author has also included some helpful advice and links at the end to help anyone dealing with the loss of a loved one. Thank you NetGalley and Lion Hudson Ltd for this ARC.
