5.0 out of 5 stars "It Must Hurt Alot" is a must have for grieving children, April 18, 2000

By	Jemelene K. Wilson (Oregon, USA) - See all my reviews

As a mother, it's hard to find the right words to say when your child is hurting. Doris Sanford takes grief to a child's level and helps parents and children alike to find a way to cope with the loss of a loved one. She puts feelings into words and Graci Evans illustrates with passion and beauty.

The story about Josh and his friend Tim dealing with the losses that young children inevitably face from the loss of a beloved pet to the death of a grandparent.

This book is a must have for anyone who works or lives with children. Every grief counselor should have a copy on their shelf.
