Book Description
Children are curious and attentive to their surroundings. They observe and have questions even though they may not ask! The subject of death of a loved one like grandparents should not be a taboo or a hidden event with mysterious disappearance of the person! Children need to know as much as they can absorb and not more. This book might be a conversation starter to be used in similar situations. It is written and illustrated by a pediatrician with special interest in child development and behavior. All the proceeds of this book will be used to fund Grasp Foundation and its goals! (graspfoundation.org). The foundations website will be available soon, and the e-mail address is [email protected].
