It's a great book to teach how to communicate with friends but I was surprised what the "issue" was. I guess it depends on the age of who's reading it.

I recently won this book as a giveaway on goodreads.com. Goodreads is a website for bibliophiles to be able to track and record their reading journals and book collections. Plus, there are tons of contests to win free books- including graphic novels and comic books; which is how I got attracted to the site.



Howard B. Wigglebottom is a kind-hearted rabbit whose friend Kiki is acting very weird. She's pushing people, yelling at them, and crying. When Howard finds out that a very special friend of her's passed away, he very much wants to make her happy again. So how can Howard and friends help Kiki without making things worse?



This is the latest volume in the Howard B. Wigglebottom series. The books are written by Howard Binkow and Reverend Ana of the We Do Listen Foundation. The organization is comprised of educators, artists, and licensed therapists in hopes of making serious issues relatable for children. This book tackles the extremely tricky subject of death and it does a very good job of making it understandable. Even better, they work to make the subject no longer frightening and not to be treated as taboo. The back of the book even includes a study guide for parents and educators to better broach the subject with children.

A great teaching guide and storybook for children under the age of 10.
