    About this ebook

    When a close friend or family member dies, it can be difficult for children to express their feelings. I Miss You helps boys and girls understand that death is a natural complement to life, and that grief and a sense of loss are normal feelings for them to have following a loved one's death. Titles in the sensitively presented A First Look At series explore the dynamics of various relationships experienced by children of preschool through early school age. Kids are encouraged to understand personal feelings and social problems as a first step in dealing with them. Written by psychotherapist and counselor Pat Thomas, these books promote positive interaction among children, parents, and teachers. The story lines are simple and direct--easily accessible to younger children. There are full-color illustrations on every page.

    • 5/5
      When death comes for a friend or family member, it is never easy to cope. There are many stages that a child may feel or go through when coping with death.Recommended Age: Preschool +
    • 5/5
      It's often said that children are resilient and can bounce back from anything, but when death strikes, children are more intune that we often give them credit for. I MISS YOU is a very intimate portrait of how to help children deal with loss of a loved one. This is such a lightly worded, yet deeply introspective view of death and ways that a child can find to cope in positive ways. Excellent work.
