Good News For Little Hearts: Henry Says Good-bye

So we have TONS of new children's books to review from New Growth Press.
So Good News for Little Hearts is a very cute series that helps children address their feelings.

First Up: Henry Says Good-Bye

Henry Says Goodbye: When You Are Sad  -     By: Edward T. Welch
    Illustrated By: Jo Hox

This is one of the  BEST books. It deals with grief and how feelings are real and how many times we can be mean when they are grieving. Henry's pet ladybug dies while he is at school one day and he's so sad and grieving, that even at times he takes it out on his friends. But then his parents help him to address his sadness and to grieve. They have a memorial service for Lila and all of Henry's friends come to say their good-byes he starts to not be so sad because he realizes his friends loved Lila the Ladybug too. 

Parents, this book is good to just have. Keep it on the bookshelf because death and loss are inevitable and as parents, we have to help our children through the losses that are sure to come. Even if the good-bye isn't due to death but perhaps moving and having to leave behind friends and family, a loss is still loss and our children need our help navigating the waters.

A must-have.
