Grief and Loss

Grief and loss are complex emotions that can be hard to understand. Right now you could be grieving a pet, a person or a routine you used to have. Here are three books we recommend to help talk to your kids about grief and loss.

We also recommend downloading the First Book Trauma Toolkit. It is an excellent resource for working with students.

The Poet’s Dog is a tale about caring for others during hard times. It explores love, death, and family from an extraordinary dog’s point of view.

Birdsong  is the story of a girl who moves to a new home where she doesn’t know anyone and becomes friends with an elderly neighbor.

Rabbit and the Motorbike shares how Rabbit recovers after loosing his dear friend, Dog.
