Cry, Heart, But Never Break

We have a shelf of books for children of all ages (and the inner child of adults!) to help all of us learn and become more comfortable with death, loss and grief. If you know a child who is grieving or has a parent who is terminally ill, stop by and browse to see if there’s a book that might provide solace.

Below Maria Popova from Brainpickings writes beautifully about the children’s book Cry, Heart, But Never Break, available in our library.
An excerpt: “Ever after, whenever the children opened a window, they would think of their grandmother. And when the breeze caressed their faces, they could feel her touch.”
