A beautifully written, rhyming picture book offering comfort, guidance and hope for children experiencing the loss of a loved one.
The passing of a beloved grandparent is often a child’s first encounter with death and grieving. It is a time of confusion and overwhelming emotions. Coming to terms with the loss of a loved one, while simultaneously confronting our own mortality, is difficult for us all but for children it can be particularly harrowing.
Told from the point of view of a young girl speaking to her deceased grandmother, this touching and beautifully illustrated story takes the reader on a healing journey through the grieving process. From overwhelming sadness and regret to gradual acceptance and finally joyful remembrance.
The charming illustrations, whose scenery and colour palette reflect the changing seasons, serve as a subtle yet poignant reminder of the circle of life and the transient nature of human experience.
Includes activities to support children as they navigate and process their grief and a dedicated space in which to add their own pictures and poems of their deceased grandmother.
A heartfelt gift for children experiencing loss and a beautiful tribute to the everlasting power of love.
Bean is different, but he doesn’t mind.
Little dance fans will delight in this illustrated children’s book about a boy who doesn’t let the reactions of others stop him from following his dream.
Bean isn’t like the other boys in his class; he doesn’t want to be a footballer or an astronaut. Bean dreams of being a ballet dancer. When the other children laugh at him for being different, Bean doesn’t get upset or change to fit in. He holds his head high and stays true to himself.
This heart-warming picture book demonstrates to boys and girls that it is ok to be different and that often the first step to being accepted by others is accepting yourself.
