by Juliet Rothman

A little girl's brother has died. She shares with readers what this means to her as tries to understand her own feelings and those of her mother, father, and sister. Through her story she illustrates that there are different ways that people can react when someone they love dies. As the story moves through the girl's experience, it arrives at a question many grieving families face--how to acknowledge the birthday of a child who has died.

Although written for children 7- 12, A Birthday Present for Daniel reaches out with compassion and wisdom to all who have experienced the loss of a loved one.
