Coping with grief and loss can be overwhelming, and finding the right words to talk to our children about it can feel impossible. Sprite's story helps you find a place to start as you help a child navigate loss.
Most of us didn't grow up learning how to talk about grief or process how it affects our bodies, minds, and emotions. This interactive board book is a tool to help start that difficult conversation. Children will learn that they are not alone, and while this moment is challenging, the memory of the loved one will always be with them no matter where they go.
