You'll Be There by Amanda Rawson Hill

This is a book about grief and depression. It’s there to remind kids that the person you’ve lost will always be with you as long as they’re in your heart. What interesting is the book never comes out and says who is gone. It never mentions the word death. You just know something is missing , so in essence, this could be used for death. It could be used for someone who’s gone missing or somebody who’s far away and out of contact. What’s equally surprising is this is Imagination Press which is an arm of the American Psychological Association and there is no clues on helping a child to grief in the end. Highly unusual for an APA book. This book gets its message through and is a tad bit sad but there will be kids who needed it.
