Why read it?

1 author picked Where are you Lydie? as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

This is a book by one of my students, and it’s the reason I first began to notice that bereavement was an important subject for children – who might experience the death of pets, grandparents, parents, or even siblings – but one in which publishers see little commercial potential.

From Christyan's list on bereavement and loss.
