The Memory Box

A Book About Grief
by Joanna Rowland
isbn 978-1506426723
Pub. date 9/27/17

Synopsis

From the perspective of a young child, Joanna Rowland artfully describes what it is like to remember and grieve a loved one who has died.

The child in the story creates a memory box to keep mementos and written memories of the loved one, to help in the grieving process.

Heartfelt and comforting, The Memory Box will help children and adults talk about this very difficult topic together.

The unique point of view allows the reader to imagine the loss of any they have loved – a friend, family member, or even a pet.

    People who work with children are always looking for appropriate books to use. I think these would be excellent choices. I’d like to have copies in my library. Thanks for the sweeps.
