THE MEMORY TREE

Un libro favoloso, il mio bimbo di 3 anni me lo ha chiesto diverse volte, anche 2 o 3 volte di fila. Alla fine lo abbiamo preso sia in italiano che in inglese e non ci penso nemmeno a separarmene

This is a beautiful story book for grieving kids. The imagery is pretty, light, and comforting. The story offers validation, comfort, and hope. We bought this for our three year old after losing his pre-school teacher. He loves the book and it has been healing and hope-giving for him and for us. Absolutely would recommend for grieving kids and families!

An amazing read

This book is beautiful inside and out. The story is perfect for little ones and parents. So simply and full of love, it explains how our beloved ones don’t really leave, they will always be here with us. I recommend it for little readers 3 years +

This isn’t a book you’d buy for a regular bedtime story, it’s one to use to help explain the passing and emotional grieving of a loved one, it deals with a very tricky and sensitive subject very well. In this case the passing of my father in law and my mother. The book is wonderfully illustrated in such a calm and gentle way, nothing that requires explanation or understanding beforehand. Woodland animals and their setting. These books should be in schools to help with their understanding around death. (There are other books I recommend on this subject, The Fall of Freddie the leaf and the other is The Invisible String, both really really well done, my children still quote these books now, they’re 4 and 8, incredible, emotional but in the best way!)
