Description
This beautifully illustrated picture book about death and grief is a compassionate and informative book that helps young children navigate the complexities of loss. With gentle language and relatable examples, this fact-filled guide sensitively explores death, grief and coping strategies. It serves as a useful guide to share either with a child who has experienced loss, or with a child who simply has questions about this difficult topic.
Children in Our World picture book series helps children make sense of the larger issues and crises that dominate the news in a sensitive and appropriate manner. With relatable comparisons, carefully researched text and striking illustrations, children can begin to understand why people have different cultures, what customs and traditions are, and why understanding people from other cultures is important.
Where issues aren't appropriate to describe in words, Hanane Kai's striking and sensitive illustrations help children visualise the issues with images that are suited to their age.
