I Miss You: A First Look at Death
Pat Thomas
When a close friend or family member dies, it can be difficult for children to express their feelings. This book helps boys and girls understand that death is a natural complement to life, and that grief and a sense of loss are normal feelings for them to have following a loved one's death.
This book discusses one of the most difficult conversations you will ever have with a child: How do you talk about death? Children's feelings and questions about serious illness and death are looked at in a simple and realistic way. If you have ever told yourself- "I don't know what to say." or "I am afraid I will say the wrong thing."- this book is your guide.

Over the years I have come to understand that the person with the illness is not the only person trying to survive; Bobby's Books empowers everyone to know they are not alone in their fight and there is real hope in understanding that others have made it through the journey before you.
