I found this book exeptionally helpful for my 2 1/2 year old daughter after her baby brother was stillborn in August it was worded in a way she would understand and the pitures also helped her understand also after the loss of the baby in this story it was nice to see a little angel on every page in different places to show that even though the baby was no longer with them it was still there watching over them.
A must have for anyone with small children who otherwise cant really understand.

I bought this book for my children aged 6,4 and 3 after the death of their baby brother eleven hours after his birth three months ago. We have read it several times (my now 5 year old especially asks for it). It is sensitively written and beautifully illustrated from the point of view of a little boy whose baby sibling dies (clearly either at or around the point of birth as you see the mummy's big tummy). It helps children to know that adults are sad and that it's o.k. for them to feel sad too and also that it's o.k. to remember the baby and have reminders of him around. The book is not religious except that, once the baby has died, each page has a little angel (a little in the Usborne 'find the duck' vein) to show that the baby is still with us but in our hearts. I would really recommend this for anyone who has lost a baby around birth and who has children up to about 6.

I bought this book after having a miscarriage myself. My youngest daughter aged 6 was OK to begin with but then was obviously affected. The book is simple and written from the perspective of a child who was going to be a big brother. After the baby dies in the story it is depicted as an angel in every picture which my daughter liked (I hadn't even noticed when I read it through first!) The story gives children permission to feel cheated by the death - they were all excited about having a baby to play with, share with and help look after and now it has been snatched away. My own daughter had said to me that she thought I must be m ost sad as it was in my body and I tried to explain to her that it was ok for her to be sad too but I think she still felt she didn't have the right and that confused her. She took the book to school and I was amazed that the teacher shared it with the whole class! She also slept with it under her pillow for a few nights.
At the back are a couple of pages for parents with advice on helping children cope with the loss.
All in all I would thoroughly recommend this for any age child.

It worked perfectly for us.
When their little sister was stillborn at 38wks this book really helped my 3yr old and 5 yr old. No adult can read it without crying -it's very tender and beautifully illustrated.
