Customer Reviews

Great book for children of parents who miscarry

I bought this book in anticipation of the day when our little girl will ask who is the "other" baby on our wall. Although the book is a little long and she will need to be 3 or 4 to understand it, I think it will be a great help to us when it time to explain about her lost brother.

"Molly's Rosebush" helped explain miscarriage to our son

The first time I read this book, I knew it was going to be a world of help in explaining our miscarriage to our son. The story is very gentle, very sweet, and involves not just the mother and older child, but her father and grandmother too. There are several analogies in the book that help explain the "why" of miscarriage to a young child. It is a sensitive, beautifully written story. The foreward for adults at the beginnig is also wonderful. I would recommend it for any family who encounters the need to explain a miscarriage to a child.
