American Psychological Association Why A Story for Kids Who Have Lost a Parent to
Book SynopsisA picture book geared to help parents and counselors communicate with young children about a parent?s suicide. Oliver?s daddy loved him?a whole bunch, forever and for always. One day Oliver?s daddy died by suicide. Why? Oliver?s mommy hugs him tight, and she tells him why. And she reassures Oliver that his daddy loved him?and that will never change. In developmentally appropriate language and evocative illustrations, this picture book helps open communication about why a parent completes suicide. A reader?s note offers more information about supporting children who have lost a parent to suicide.Trade ReviewThis groundbreaking picture book provides some possible answers to the question of why someone, especially a parent, might choose death over life.Losing a loved one is never easy, but when that loved one dies by suicide, most youngsters will have many questions but be provided with few answers. Often, so much stigma and secrecy surround this type of loss that children are further traumatized when adults fail to discuss what happened. Oliver is confused about why his father is no longer living. His mother tries to comfort him, reassuring Oliver that his father loved him and that neither of them are to blame for his death. Oliver’s mother explains that his father was “overwhelmed by a deep dark sadness” and chose to end his life “to get away from the sad, scary, and dark feelings,” language that effectively depicts depression and demystifies the mental health challenges that led to his death. The illustrations contain several luminous double-page spreads that convey the deep sense of loss experienced by those left behind as well as what it might feel like to be “stuck in deep dark sadness.” The contrast between those dark pages and the growing lightness surrounding Oliver and his mother as they process their loss is striking. Oliver is biracial; his father is pictured with light skin and curly brown hair and his mother with darker skin and hair.A helpful how-to guide for difficult but necessary conversations. (reader’s note, for more information, reference) (Picture book. 6-9) -- Kirkus Reviews

Book SynopsisWhen Alice''s dad moves out, leaving her with her troubled mother, she does the only thing that feels right: she retreats to her family''s old Renaissance tent in the backyard, determined to live there until her dad comes home. In an attempt to keep at least one part of her summer from changing, Alice focuses on her quest to swim freestyle fast enough to get on her swim team''s record board. But summers contain multitudes, and soon Alice meets an odd new friend, Harriet, whose obsession with the school''s science fair is equal only to her conviction that Alice''s best stroke is backstroke, not freestyle. Most unexpected of all is an unusual babysitting charge, Piper, who is mute—until Alice hears her speak. A funny and honest middle-grade novel, this sharply observed depiction of family, friendship, and Alice''s determination to prove herself—as a babysitter, as a friend, as a daughter, as a person—rings loud and true.Trade Review"This is a very beautiful book, touching on themes of mental health, family relationships, friendships and love." -- BookTrust
