Why read it?

1 author picked Someone I Love Died as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

This is a children’s book for primarily ages 4-8. It describes what it’s like for a child to be experiencing grief through a biblical lens.

I can’t recommend this book enough because as someone who experienced loss as a child, I needed this book then. It has beautiful words and imagery to guide the child and hold their emotions. It would be a fantastic book to read through in a counseling session with a child experiencing loss. 

From Kaitlyn's list on a biblical view of death and grief.
