JOY JOHNSON; an experienced bereavement specialist tells caregivers how to explain the concept of death in ways that will be understandable to children.

Review:

This easy-to-read book guides parents, teachers and other caregivers through the fundamental aspects of bereavement in children. The book tackles such subjects as Explaining Death, the Funeral, and Religion and Grief simply and compassionately through concrete examples. A glossary and recommended reading list enhance the text, and the Question and Answer section - while brief - addresses some of the common questions children have regarding death and dying. A 2000 Parents' Choice� Recommended winner.
