 Way to specific for our purposes. :( March 3, 2009

I wish I had known this book was specifically about death. "A Good-grief Guidebook For Kids Dealing with Loss" is a euphemistic subtitle that made me think it would address all kinds of loss. Unlike the Elf-help book about anger, this story about sadness seems to assume that a child cannot experience significant loss through any means other than death. I was so hoping this would be a book that would help a little boy deal with the loss of his birth family and foster family as he moves to an adoptive home. He will be grieving as well, and will have more to mourn over than the loss of a single parent or grandparent. Unfortunately, this book cannot even be modified to fit our purposes, as every page is centered around death. What a disappointment.

I purchased this book to use in an elementary school setting. Personally I like the references to God in the book but professionally I am not able to use it as I had planned.

This book is a helpful resource for grieving children. It helps children understand basic concepts related to death, and normalizes feelings associated with grief. Counselors and therapists working with grieving children may also be interested in the following books:

This was one of the books I purchased to read to my almost 4 year old grandson. His "grandpa" died 3 months ago. He loves being read to and we were able to talk about some of the memories he had of his grandpa.
There were some parts of the book I did not read to him as I felt he was not ready for them. However, validation of his feelings really came through as a positive thing. I am sure we will explore more of this book as he really liked hearing about how it wasn't bad to feel sad.
