An especially recommended addition to community library collections for the enduring benefit of their communities
July 20, 2009
Format:Paperback
Sooner or later, in every young life there will occur a deeply personal loss of a beloved family member or friend. That is something every parent is keenly aware of and wanting to provide some kind of help and consolation in their child's grief. That's what author Laura Olivieri experienced in her own life. It's also what inspired her to write "Where Are You?: A Child's Book About Loss". Very nicely illustrated in full color by Kristin Elder, this story about the death of a young boy's father and the lonely absences from his life, as well as the ultimate realization that it is within his heart and memory that he will continue to be close to his father, is a simply wonderful message to share with any other child who is grieving a similar loss in their young lives. "Where Are You?" is an especially recommended addition to community library collections for the enduring benefit of their communities.

Based on her experience of being acutely widowed when she had a three-year-old son, this richly illustrated book for younger children is to help them understand and overcome loss and/or the death of someone close.

It is just the right size to snuggle a little child on your lap and read together. The words are simple and the ideas are easy to understand even for a very young child. Hold them close. Look at and talk about the pictures. Compare what has happened in their life to the boy in the story. Let them know that they can keep the memory always in their mind and the love always in their heart, and their loved one is always right here.
