Because the Sky Is Everywhere

A picture book for children and families affected by loss. Optimal ages children 3-8. Liam searches for understanding and meaning after his dad dies. He searches in his home, around his neighborhood, and like many grieving children who are taught to visualize a special, protective place or being, in the treetops, and sky. It's in the sky that Liam sees images of his daddy reflected in the stars, bringing him enormous comfort. Liam gains awareness by the end of the book that just as the sky is everywhere, so, too, is his father's love.Because The Sky Is Everywhere is a spiritual primer on love and loss. The tone is gentle, understated, and welcoming. "Just like grieving grown-ups, grieving children naturally have questions about where the person who died has gone. This compassionate story offers a reassuring, loving answer. This resource reminds us that any child old enough to love is old enough to mourn."Dr. Alan D.
