A delicate subject touchingly and sensitively handled. You'll need
a hanky . . .
*Primary Times (Hampshire)*
Many small children will be faced with the death of someone they
love and this charming picture story might help them to come to
terms with it.
*Northern Echo*
Moving to the point where younger children may be upset, but
explains death gently. 10/10.
*Daily Mirror*
It is an enjoyable tale and I think young children will like it and
might gain some insight into grief and how to cope with it.
*Bereavement Care*
One of the best books i've read on death and loss.
