ABOUT THE BOOK
An art therapy and activity book for children coping with death. Sensitive exercises address all the questions children may have during this emotional and troubling crisis. Children are encouraged to express in pictures what they are often incapable of expressing in words.
"Useful, practical activities that help children open up and express their thoughts and emotions about the loss of a loved one. Clients going through grief and loss can really benefit from this activity book, especially when they tend to be quiet and have a difficult time expressing themselves. I made copies for my clients and it worked really well. It helped them understand their feelings and to verbalize them appropriately."

"I bought this book for my best friend's 5 and 7 year olds while their grandpa was dying from cancer. They often asked to work in this book when things were getting bad. I think art is a fabulous way for children to deal with grief, because they have such a hard time expressing their feelings. I definately reccomend this book for grieving children. "

"I was eager to use this book with my four yr. old daughter. She enjoyed some of the activities and drew nice pictures about her Poppa."

"This book starts out helping the child while the parent or "special person" - to use their words, is still living. Its an excellent book to get for children who have a terminally ill loved one. It takes them from feelings they experience when a loved one is sick, right now, all the way through to handling the funeral and the death of someone so close. It is also helpful for the adult, who may be grieving as well, because it gives names to the feelings and also offers activities, such as creating a feelings book, to help the child express themselves now and even later on."
