Penguin Young Readers Group There Is a Door in This Darkness
Book SynopsisA magic-tinged contemporary YA about grief and hope from the acclaimed New York Times bestselling author of the Graceling Realm novels.Wilhelmina Hart is part of the infamous class of 2020. Her high school years began with a shocking presidential election and ended with a pandemic. In the midst of this global turmoil, she also lost one of her beloved aunts, a loss she still feels keenly. Having deferred college, Wilhelmina now lives in a limbo she can see no way out of, like so many of her peers. Wilhelmina’s personal darkness would be unbearable (especially with another monumental election looming) but for the inexplicable and seemingly magical clues that have begun to intrude on her life—flashes of bizarre, ecstatic whimsy that seem to add up to a message she can’t quite grasp. But something tells her she should follow their lead. Maybe a trail of elephants, birds, angels, and stale doughnuts will lead Wilhelmina to a door?

Scarecrow Press Death Loss and Grief in Literature for Youth
Book SynopsisAll human beings encounter loss and death, as well as the grief associated with these experiences. It is therefore important for children and adolescents to understand that such events are inevitable and to learn how to accept loss and cope with their emotions. In order to help children through their pain, parents and caregivers need access to the proper resources that will help them discuss these topics, and educational professionals need reliable resources for creating courses of study on these subjects. In Death, Loss, and Grief in Literature for Youth, Alice Crosetto and Rajinder Garcha identify hundreds of resources that will help educators, professionals, parents, siblings, guardians, and students learn about coping with the loss of a loved one and the grief process. These resources include books, Internet sites, and media titles aimed at students and those helping them through the grieving process. Chapters in this volume include fiction and non-fiction titles about the loss oTrade ReviewAuthored by experienced, professional librarians whose backgrounds include working the University of Toledo Libraries, this impressive bibliography begins an introduction introducing the reader to working with children and teens dealing with the loss of a loved one. This book contains almost 1,000 entries for print and nonprint resources and is divided into 12 chapters. The works are arranged according to the relationship to the loved one lost: death of a family member, death of a teacher or schoolmate, death of a friend or neighbor, or death of a pet. The remaining chapters address various aspects of death and the afterlife, including folktales, nonfiction resources, animal and nature stories, resources for parents and professionals, and media and Internet resources....This is a valuable, useful resource not only for librarians but also for other professionals working with young people who are experiencing the loss of a loved one or who have questions about death. It is recommended for professional collections in both school district and college libraries as well as large public libraries. * American Reference Books Annual *Who among us hasn’t struggled at some point to help parents or caregivers (or even the young people themselves) find a book or other materials to help them through a difficult time. This comprehensive bibliography includes mostly resources for students, although it includes a chapter for educators, parents, and other professionals. It also includes chapters specifically covering websites, media resources available in DVD format, and nonfiction resources. The annotated entries are organized by type of loss: family member (broken down into specifics, such as mother, father, etc.), the death of a teacher or classmate, friend or neighbor, pets (divided by type). There are two chapters on animal and nature stories and folktales that have death as a theme. Each annotation includes publication information, suggested grade level, identification of award-winning titles, and a brief, informative description. Some of the annotations include quotes from professional reviews. A well-organized and up-to-date bibliography for all collections. * School Library Journal *Death and grief are subjects that all students will face at some point, and one way for educators and professionals to empathize is through literature and other media resources. This title is a bibliography of books, websites, and other media titles that deal with death and the grieving process. The titles are suitable for students starting in kindergarten and going through twelfth grade, and are organized by grade-level appropriateness. The chapters are organized by the kind of death or loss focused on in the resource, including deaths of different family members, friends and acquaintances, and pets. This bibliography would be a valuable asset for a school library to own in its professional section for educators and staff members. Guidance counselors, librarians, and teachers could all benefit from having access to titles that would reach students on all grade levels for dealing with different kinds of deaths. It is an easy reference guide, as well, since the titles are organized by type of death and then by grade, and each title has a synopsis below it to gage subject interest and appropriateness. * VOYA *Table of ContentsContents Acknowledgements Foreword Introduction Scope and Arrangement of Material Chapter One Death of a Family Member Mother Father Grandmother Grandfather Sister Brother Other Family Members Multiple Deaths in the Family Chapter Two Death of a Teacher or Classmate Chapter Three Death of a Friend or Neighbor Chapter Four Various Accountings of Death and the Afterlife Chapter Five Death of a Pet Cat Dog Other Chapter Six Animal and Nature Stories Chapter Seven Folktales Chapter Eight Non-fiction Resources Chapter Nine General Reference Resources Chapter Ten Educators/Parents/Professionals Resources Chapter Eleven Media Resources Chapter Twelve Internet Resources Appendix A Book and Media Awards Appendix B Children’s Grief Awareness Day Author Index Illustrator/Photographer Index Title Index Series Index Subject Index Book and Media Award Index Grade/Level Index About the Authors

Book SynopsisIt’s the Midwest in the early 1960s, and Isabelle is reeling from a loss that’s too hard to think—let alone talk—about. With characteristic sensitivity and wit, Jane St. Anthony reveals how a girl’s life clouded with grief can also hold a world of promise.Trade ReviewNot since Charlotte’s Web have I read a book that pays as much homage to the power of friendship.

"—For the Love of Books"A funny and absorbing book about learning to deal with grief.

Islamic Foundation When Wings Expand
Book Synopsis Winner of the Unpublished Muslim Writer''s Award 2011. She wrapped her arms around me and said, Nur! I know. I don''t want to go. But all I can do is keep trusting in Allah. Nur, I will always be with you! My love and advice will always be with you to guide you in the right direction. She patted my heart. They are forever sealed inside this little place. Writing on the pages of her journal, Nur, a teenage girl in Canada, charts the onset and advance of her mother''s cancer. Nur watches her mother''s body begin to shrink and her mood begin to darken. And when family and friends begin to encroach, Nur must face the prospect of her mother''s looming death. Nur bears the crushing loss and finds her adolescent life more demanding and complex. But with the legacy of her mother''s love, her family''s support, and the guidance of her faith, she manages to overcome the searing pain and use her newfound strength to bring joy to the lives of others, showing them that after death wings can expand. Mehded Maryam Sinclair is a professional storyteller with twenty-five years of experience. Her career as a touring and teaching artist began with Vermont Council. She lived in Turkey for ten years, teaching language and storytelling, and now resides in Amman, Jordan. Mehded is the author of two picture books, Miraculous Happenings in the Year of the Elephant and A Trust of Treasures (both published by Kube Publishing, Ltd). Trade Review"The author writes the novel in the form of a journal with Nur directly addressing her diary at the beginning of each chapter, which she calls "Buraq," in the second-person. At times her devotion add to the strength of the novel, for she makes a strong role model for young readers who may grow spiritually by getting to know this 'ideal Muslim' figure close to their age. Nur's piety also makes sense on a literary level; by creating a character as devout as Nur, the author was able to focus on the grieving process itself without external negative distractions such as tensions between family members."
