The Sky Still Has Stars: A Book For Kids Who Lost A Parent

By Aaron Scallen

A compassionate, honest book for children dealing with the loss of a parent-through story, activity, and reflection.

When someone we love dies, the world feels different. This book meets children where grief lives-not to fix it, but to remind them they're not alone.

The Sky Still Has Stars pairs gentle watercolor illustrations with honest storytelling and interactive activities. It's designed for ages 6-12, but speaks to anyone navigating loss. Younger children can draw and color. Older children can write, journal, and reflect. Adults (parents, counselors, teachers) will find it a safe way to start difficult conversations.

Through ten short chapters and guided activities, this book helps children:

Understand that their feelings are normalFind words for emotions they can't nameRemember that love doesn't disappearDiscover that it's okay to smile againKnow that they carry their parent with them, always

Perfect for grieving children, school counselors, grief support groups, and families navigating loss together.
