Shine Down on Me

By: Daoutakis, Nina

Shine Down on Me is a comforting children's picture book that is designed to help children process the complex feelings of grief and loss. This story is about a grieving child who navigates through her daily life in the absence of her loved one. The analogy of grief and the weather is used to help children make connections to their own emotions and experiences of loss.

This beautifully illustrated book conveys how it feels to miss someone who is emotionally present, even if they are physically absent. An adorable star is featured throughout the book, symbolising the enduring presence of the character's loved one. It reminds us that our departed loved ones will continue to live on in our hearts and memories, as we find meaningful ways to remember them. A hopeful reminder that even after the darkest storm, the sun will shine again - grief and hope can coexist.
