About Product:
For most young children, the concepts of death, funerals, and burials are often unfamiliar until they are confronted with the loss of a loved one. In order to mentor our littles through their healing journeys, it is important that children have meaningful conversations with a trusted adult who can guide them through their grief.
In this beautifully illustrated book, Latter-day Saint author Emily Ann Adams provides tools to help educate and familiarize children with the various ceremonies and beliefs surrounding death and grief. Told from the perspective of the author's young daughter, this potentially difficult topic is presented in an approachable, conversational tone with warm, inviting, and diverse artwork.
This book allows families a moment of stillness in order to sit down and have essential, faith-based discussions about their specific loss. Although Adams acknowledges the painful reality of loss in mortality, the overall message is one of comfort and hope as families are invited to find peace and healing through the power of Jesus Christ and the joyful truth that we will be reunited with our loved ones again.
