Customer Reviews

I’ll Say Goodbye - a much needed book for helping children experiencing loss and grief.

Since loss and grieving are common family experiences (pets die, a family member dies), this story will help children process what to do with their sadness. This book will be perfect in your local hospital’s Child-Life Specialist’s Libraries, as well as in your home. The illustrations are nicely done.
