Are you Sad, Little Bear?

‘Are you sad, little bear?’ is beautifully illustrated with a little bear meeting a number of other woodland creatures as he sets out on an exploration, looking for answers to his feeling of sadness and his understanding of why we have to say goodbye to loved ones. It leaves the reader and any younger listeners in the position to follow on with questions and processing the topic of loss, grief, death and the afterlife.

While it doesn’t mention the Bible or any theological view points specifically, it is a great starting tool for anyone who is being asked these questions or wants to process this with a younger one.
