RedBird's Grief Picture Book Guide has been developed to help parents, teachers, and clinicians support and educate grieving children ages 4-12 years old about grief after the death of a loved one.
We have created a short cut for you to discover the highest quality picture books on the topic of grief for children 4 - 12 years old.
Research has shown that caring communities, positive role models, and healthy coping skills are vital in helping children navigate the grief-related adversities they face. Having language and communication skills to do this can be difficult in communities where adults struggle to talk about grief.
Picture books offer creative, insightful, and humorous ways for connecting and talking about our grief experiences.
Thankfully, in recent years there has been a huge growth in the number of picture books available on the topic of grief and loss. The challenge this presents is knowing which book to pick for your child?
