When Daddy Goes To Heaven

by Jayna Russel, Bianca Silva (Illustrator)

There are few people who have as integral a role in a child's life as a dad, and this loss will leave a mark for a lifetime. It's difficult to know how to support a grieving child during this time. Children can't always articulate their thoughts and feelings in words, but the good news is that their imaginations have a remarkable capacity for healing. This book seeks to provide a healing narrative about loss that helps them tap into that capacity.

I was hoping for a little more than a "he's everywhere around you" type book for my youngest child. I can appreciate that this is one of the main ways we explain death to young children, but unfortunately I didn't find it to be especially helpful to my child.

so sad but helpful

This book is so sad knowing that kiddos lose their parents sometimes way before it’s time. It’s a good book, one that I think can help a child who is losing a parent.
