Sometimes I'm Sad: Talking to Children about Tragedy
Books are one of the best ways to open the door on a topic, to start a discussion with your children about tough issues. Reading a story about the death of a loved one, a family pet, or even a leaf in autumn, can help young children begin to understand that death is a part of life. We've listed some of the best books here for you and your family to share.
