Books about Grief
The Memory Book & The Memory Box
When a child is experiencing grief, Joanna Rowland’s memory books, The Memory Box and The Memory Book, are a wonderful help.
Grief is hard at any age, but it is especially challenging for children.
Both of these books are for children and have their specific needs in mind.
However, the whole family can benefit from them.
