comforting

Children experience the loss of family members in many ways, depending on their age and maturity. For some, a chance to say goodbye is very important; others find comfort in memories, rituals, or tangible reminders of the love they shared. When a child is feeling sad, good books may be especially comforting, and James Howe, the skilled author of \”Kaddish for Grandpa: in Jesus\’ name amen,\” knows how to provide that needed comfort. (By the way, this is the same James Howe who has authored three popular series for children: \”Bunnicula,\” \”Pinky and Rex\” and \”Horace and Morris,\” so your child may already be a fan.)
