I don't know if everyone heard the story about this book, so here it goes. The day that Christa passed away, We went over to pick up the girls at school. The school councilor helped us tell the girls the news and then she read them this book, The Next Place by Warren Hanson. After reading the story to them, she then gave them the book and showed them that literally every teacher at the school had written them a little note of support and had signed it.This is a wonderful book which can help make the death of a loved one a little less scary. It is also beautifully illustrated.
We quoted part of this book on the Memorial Service pamphlet. I have also bought several copies to give as gifts. One of the books I purchased will be going back to the school so that they have a copy on hand when they have another child facing a similar situation, hopefully years from now.
Peace and Good Cheers,
Marty
