This beautifully illustrated book helps a child through the grieving process and allows them to complete fun activities and build a keepsake of their loved one. Fortunately, Diana Crossley has designed this activity book to support the grieving process for young children when somebody close to them passes away. Taking in a broad view of the interconnectedness of all creation and drawing on the author’s faith in the eternal essence in each one of us, the poems touch upon the whole mystery of consciousness, evolution and human experience. However, our experience tells us that for some young children, it can be really helpful to be included in a funeral. Afterwards, we will go outside and the coffin will be placed in a big hole in the ground, then covered with flowers and soil.I would definitely recommend this book and I believe that all schools should have a copy to support children if they sadly lose someone close to them. If you are concerned about the health and wellbeing of yourself or children in your care, you should always consult an appropriate healthcare professional.

It aims to help children make sense of their experience by reflecting on the different aspects of their grief, while finding a balance between remembering and having fun.At the funeral, Mummy’s body will be in the coffin, it will come in a big special car and all the grown-ups will carry it inside. Encouraging you to spin golden tales, Nancy Mellon shows how you can become a confident storyteller and enrich your family with the power of story.
