Description
Badger's Parting Gifts by Susan Varley is a touching and beautifully illustrated picture book that delicately addresses the topic of losing a loved one and coping with grief. In the story, Badger, an elderly badger, realises that his time is coming to an end. With a gentle and thoughtful approach, he takes steps to prepare his friends for his inevitable passing. When Badger eventually dies, his friends are heartbroken. However, as they reflect on their time with him and share their cherished memories, they find comfort in the lasting gifts he left behind. These gifts, intangible yet invaluable, help them understand that Badger's spirit and the lessons he imparted will always be with them.
