Format:Paperback
Another great book from this talented author, i also have..'when something terrible happens..'*though have found both boks have similar pages*.
Each of the, carefuly thought out, pages are perfect for photocopying and using with children to help them to express their thoughts and feelings. Pages can be easily adapted to cover a range of issues. I primarily use it for helping children with their grief but also helps with seperation, loss and feelings work. A must have for all professionals or parent's/carer's could use with their children and allow them to fill in the pages as a special keepsake book.

Format:Paperback
This is a lovely book where children can express how they are feeling regarding a bereavement. It gives them a sense of importance to be able to write & draw in a book which they can keep. My only gripe is that it is in black & white, I think it would be a bit more child friendly if it were in colour, but a very helpful book for helping deal with the death of someone important.

By C. Garrod
Format:Paperback
I have found that this book provides a comprehensive and therapeutic tool for professionals working with bereaved children. It allows the child to explore general concepts of life and death and also to draw apon their own experiences of the death of someone they knew, in the guise of statements and worksheets for the child to write or draw their feelings on, with the counsellor acting as a facilitator. In my opinion it would be probably more geared at those who are experienced with childhood bereavment counselling as the contents of the book open up numerous issues and questions for the child which in turn will need further discussion, exploration and support.
