These are the books recommended by Jan to Deb to use with her class with a student who lost his dad this past weekend in a car accident.
What Color are Tears? (grief workbook for grades k-3) by Marianne Vadawalker
Chester Raccoon and the Acorn Full Of Memories by Audrey Penn
I Miss You by Pat Thomas
Saying Goodbye to Daddy (carwreck caused the death) It's more for 3rd/4th, but it might work with your kids. by Judith Vigna
Hi,
ReplyDeleteIn addition to the books that have been recommended please consider these.
The Tenth Good Thing About Barney by Judith Viorst. (classroom presentation)
Tear Soup, A Recipe for Healing After Loss, for adults and older students
Diana
As well as (and I think we all have a copy?) When Someone Very Special Dies: Children Can Learn to Cope with Grief (workbook) by Marge Heegaard.
ReplyDeleteAnother good one I got recently is "Badger's Parting Gifts" by Susan Varley. http://www.amazon.com/Badgers-Parting-Gifts-Susan-Varley/dp/0688115187
ReplyDeleteWhen Badger dies his animal friends are very sad until they realize all of the things he taught them; and that they carry a part of him with them through the skills he taught them.
