I am a grief counselor who has worked with children for twenty years. This remains my favorite book for what in instills as hope without being sachrine or preachy. As Dad and daughter survive the death of Mom, they discover the promise of each new season in the current one through the first year.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Tender, poignant choice for a child who has suffered a loss, May 25, 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: Winter Holding Spring (Hardcover)
A simple and beautifully told story, in very short chapters, this book follows a bereaved father and his young daughter through one cycle of the seasons. As they come to terms, each in their own way, with the loss of their wife / mother, they also grow closer and come to a slow, gentle understanding about beginnings and endings and how life works. Moving, tender, and gentle, the dialogue between father and daughter and their small adventures as the year turns are true to life. One of the best books on this difficult topic for readers in second to fifth grade, and deeply helpful to children who have lost a parent or face the serious illness of one.
