Compassion Books is pleased to re-introduce this beautifully prepared workbook to help children ages 4 - 12 to express their grief while capturing memories. By collecting photographs of the person who has died, by writing, drawing and storytelling, children use the artistic process to enter their emotional and bodily feelings, explore dreams, learn self-care, and celebrate life. Open-ended sentences and questions help them feel comfortable and express themselves freely.

An introduction on how to use the book and a list of helpful resources will encourage adults to support and participate with the child in completing pages. As it is being worked on, and upon completion, A Keepsake Book of Special Memories becomes a treasure of healing validation, remembrance and hope.

The Keepsake book will:

Help children to grieve

Encourage active participation using hands-on activities

Provide a helpful tool for supportive adults

Promote positive alternatives for coping with anger

Provide opportunities to express sadness and other feelings

Validate emotions

We think this is one of the most appealing and well thought out workbook/memory book available. Call for quantity discounts Paperback, 28 pages.
