Books to help bereaved children: Home

This guide suggests books that could be used to explain death and help with bereavement in children

Introduction

Death and feelings of loss are themes in these books - most centre around the death of a pet, parent, grandparent, or sibling.

We hold most of these titles in our Junior Library, though some may still be on our wish list.

Check Library Search for availability.

If we don't have what you're looking for, check the Libraries Ireland catalogue for public libraries.
