Danny's Diary - Susan Rose - Bog

Every child will suffer a bereavement at some point, and this book helps them through the process in a uniquely imaginative and positive way: in the form of a diary written by 11-year-old Danny. Danny is partway through his final year of junior school when his grandmother dies. In his diary, he records events, feelings, reactions - and the simple, homely strategies he, his Mom and their friends and neighbours use to move them through the various stages of grief. The story is sensitively written and is compelling and convincing. Children - and the adults caring for them, including those going through loss themselves - will find it comforting and reassuring.
