Über Trauer und Verlust zu sprechen, ist eine herausfordernde Erfahrung. Manchmal scheint es unmöglich, die richtigen Worte zu finden oder einen guten Einstieg zu schaffen. „Sprite hilft beim Abschiednehmen" vermittelt Kindern, dass es verschiedene Arten von Abschieden gibt. Ob es darum geht, am Ende des Tages die Spielzeuge wegzuräumen oder aus einem alten Zuhause auszuziehen – Kinder lernen, dass Erinnerungen eine positive Möglichkeit sind, die Verbindung zu der Liebe in ihrem Herzen aufrechtzuerhalten.
Die Reflexions- und Verbindungsfragen am Ende von Sprites Geschichte bieten Bezugspersonen eine unterstützende Ressource, um das Gespräch über Trauer und Verlust zu leiten und das Verständnis ihres Kindes für diese wichtige emotionale Fähigkeit zu vertiefen.

This book's gentle approach to a tough topic really helped my son open up about missing his grandpa, and the simple illustrations kept him engaged without overwhelming him. We've read it every night since it arrived.

The gentle way this book opens the door to talking about loss without overwhelming my child is exactly what we needed. My six-year-old even started asking her own thoughtful questions after we read it together.

My four-year-old has been asking a lot of questions since we lost our cat, and this book gave us a simple, gentle way to start talking about saying goodbye. The board book pages are sturdy enough for little hands, and the story doesn't feel preachy or sad.

The illustrations are gentle and the simple language made it easy to start a hard conversation with my son after we lost our dog. He pointed to Sprite and said that's how he feels, which was a huge relief.

My six-year-old actually asked to read it again after we finished, which says a lot. The simple way it explains loss without being too heavy made it easier for both of us to talk about our feelings.

My niece is navigating her first big loss, and this board book’s simple, gentle language made it so much easier to start the conversation. The sturdy pages are perfect for her little hands, and she actually asked to read it again tonight.

My four-year-old has been asking a lot of questions since our dog passed, and this book gave us simple, kind words to start the conversation. The illustrations are gentle and the story doesn't feel forced or overly sad, which I really appreciate. It's already helped us talk about missing someone without it being too heavy.

The soft, textured cover held my daughter's attention immediately, and the simple dialogue made it easier to explain our dog's passing. I appreciate how it validates feelings without being too heavy for a toddler to process.

My four-year-old actually asks to read this one before bed, which says a lot given the heavy topic. The simple illustrations and gentle phrasing made it so much easier to explain saying goodbye to our dog.
John★★★★☆
The illustrations are soft and comforting, which helps when reading about such a heavy topic. It's a bit short, but for a board book it covers the subject with surprising sensitivity. My 4-year-old asks for it almost every night now.
