Description
Goodbye: A First Conversation About Grief by Megan Madison and Jessica Ralli is a picture book that helps adults start important conversations with young children about grief. Developed by experts in early childhood and activism, this book offers clear language and compelling imagery to introduce the concept of grief. It aims to normalize the topic of death by discussing what it means and how it feels to experience loss. The book centers around several questions that arise about grief and provides honest, simple ways to answer them. Research shows that talking about tough issues from a young age can help children understand their world better, increase self-awareness, and recognize unfair situations. This picture book offers a supportive approach that considers both the child and the adult. Stunning art accompanies the simple text, while the backmatter provides additional resources and ideas for extending this discussion.
