About the Book
What Star? is a children’s grief book written to help educate children about losing someone they knew and loved. It was also written for parents who naturally want to protect their children from the reality of death.
Many parents want their children to perceive a more positive outlook during their journey through grief but sometimes don´t realize their children really don´t understand everything happening around them. They need to listen to their children when they ask questions and try to answer their questions as honestly as they can.
The author is hopeful, What Star? will help not only children, but parents and other adults to understand how important it is for a child to vent their feelings of grief.
Children need to be involved during the funeral process and their feelings should not be ignored, no matter how old they are. Children may not say anything, but they realize something different is happening around them.
Death is a natural part of life and we all have different ways of coping with our own bereavement, even children, no matter how young they may be.
