A Kids Book About Suicide

A kids book about suicide

Author Angela Frazier is a sensitive friend to the child who is forced to confront the pain and confusion around suicide. She comforts the child and gives the child emotional tools with which to handle something that most adults avoid, and she does so without leaning on mandated religious perspectives or typical treacle that are often mere avoidance tactics. Drawing the child in rather than telling a child what to believe is the best pedagogy and kindest invitation to develop the child's own growth in the face of painful reality. Frazier does this with compassion and skill.

My husband died by suicide and when it was time to discuss the particulars of his death this book was a very helpful secondary resource for my elementary schooler to have. One of the few books out there that avoids the many potential emotional landmines this topic can bring.

Excellent!

Fantastic book to help children understand suicide. It’s proven btw that talking about suicide does not give anyone the idea to take their own life. It’s much better to open the lines of communication so kids will be comfortable sharing if there is ever a need. Highly recommend!
