    Comforting for young child
  

*by A***S on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 3, 2013*

I purchased this book for my three year old daughter when her aunt (and care-giver) was diagnosed with cancer and we lost her in three short months.  It was so difficult to explain to her why she couldn't see her anymore and what had happened.  Of the three books I purchased this has been the most helpful for her.  My daughter was able to grasp the meaning of the book and how it relates to her own loss.  She asks me to read it to her all the time and likes to talk about her aunt as we read it.  I like how the author uses nature to explain death, it is a nice compliment to the discussion of heaven, which has been too difficult for her to grasp.One of the reasons I selected this book was that it was one of the few stories for younger children that didn't involve a parent.  I was worried that introducing that idea would cause her to fear losing my husband or I, so avoiding that was also positive for us.  The book is truly a lovely story and after reading it know I would have included it in her library even if this family loss had not required it.The other two books I ordered, Tear Soup and Waterbugs and Dragonflies, were a little too mature for her to understand but they have been good conversation starters for my nine year old and recommend them as well.

    My boys and I love this book
  

*by J***N on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on September 25, 2013*

I bought this book to help my older son (6) cope with his grandmother's cancer.  It describes a willow tree and it's friendship with a smaller tree and a squirrel.  When willow tree gets sick, its friends have to understand that it is a sick that does not go away and how they can help willow tree come to terms and be happy in its last days.  A touching comparison to many real life cancer stories.  It has helped my 6 year old ask questions about grandma's sickness and I feel it has given him a better understanding.  My 3 year old also loves this book, though doesn't understand yet that grandma is sick.

*by A***. on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on February 10, 2015*

It was so hard to buy this book and read it to my three year old as my father was passing from cancer, but I did it because of the other well written reviews. I really thought it was well-crafted and had a good message that we could talk about after as much as I was willing to/ready to expand on. I like the way the end leaves readers feeling hopeful that someone's memory will live on after death. You will most likely cry. Just warning you. Read it once before reading it to littles unless you have a more solid composure than me.
