A Sparrow's Sad Song Caroline Baggaley

Explaining death to a child is always difficult, especially when the adults are grieving and are at a loss for words. When my sister died, I had some tough questions to answer from my own young boys: Where is aunty Eva? When is she coming over? And the most brutal: But I want to go see her! I muddled through the explanations the best way I could, and then I wrote my boys this story. In A Sparrow's Sad Song, a very special family member is lost through an unexpected illness. Once you enter the world of the Kolanaville Forest, you will get to know these furry friends. You will feel their hearts break with sadness, but more importantly, you will feel the triumphant glow of love, the happiness, joy and renewed hope. Baba Bear, Queen of the Koalas, teaches that love never dies, even though the physical shell does.
