Review by: Alexandra Legault

A Guide to Grief handles a delicate topic, often avoided by many, with grace and compassion. This nonfiction book guides its readers through what grief is, different types of grief, and healthy ways to move through heavy emotions and feelings. Sprinkled throughout the book are illustrations and resources that compliment the text. A glossary also follows at the end of the book. This book was written specifically with children in mind, however, there are resources for caregivers, and the content can be helpful not only for children between the ages of 10-14, but for older children and even adults. This book would make an excellent addition to any library, especially a school or public library.
