Reviews

[Jackie · Rating 4 out of 5]

I thought this book handled death and the reactions of others (especially young children) in an excellent manner. There were many examples of situations that occur after a death and I felt like the discussion of the circumstance was presented very well.

An important book for families who lose a parent and there are children to comfort.
