The stories in this book are deeply tender, consoling gifts for children and adults who are wounded by overwhelming loss. They matter. A lot. Alida Gersie Ph.D. author of Storymaking in Bereavement. Dragons Fight in the Meadow.

Grief is inevitable for everyone. Experiencing some kind of bereavement is something that none of us can avoid. So why are we so afraid to talk about it? This hopeful and uplifting book helps children and families make meaning after loss. It offers a grief ‘toolkit’ for sharing stories about a subject so often shrouded in silence and discomfort.
