Meaningful reading

This is a gentle and beautifully illustrated book that is ideal to read with an elementary age child who is experiencing the loss of a parent. It is told in a non-threatening way, and it offers many opportunities for discussion. I especially like it because it offers hope. It has been an excellent resource in my work with grieving children.
