My Brother, Born Sleeping - Lellie Lopter - Bog

Over 2 Million babies are born sleeping around the world each year. This book is for the people who love them.When a baby is born sleeping, sometimes there is no explanation, and sometimes there are lots. This very special project brings together artists from around the world to illustrate the touching story that gently explains stillbirth to children.Even though the author, and many of the illustrators involved in this project have their own unique stories of pregnancy loss, still birth, or infant loss, they are united in their vision to raise awareness for this global issue. Everyone involved has donated their time and talents to ensure that all money raised from the sales of this book goes to Red Nose so they can continue to support families, fund research, and save little lives.'My Brother, Born Sleeping is an important and developmentally appropriate tool to help children process big feelings after a difficult loss. Poignant and sensitive, a beautiful collaborative work.' J.E. Miller NEM BAEngLit.GDEd.GDPsych. 'My Brother Born Sleeping, will touch your heart and remain with you for a long time afterwards.' TM Clark - Author 'A beautiful story... told in a positive light.' Jason & Cathy Hill - Judges of the Marshall Allan Hill writing competition 2011 "My brother born sleeping is beautifully written and illustrated. In times of grief, young children can sense the changes in their environment and their parents' emotional state. As well as experiencing a range of emotions, children's curiosity in understanding loss can make for difficult conversations when parents are experiencing their own pain. This book will go a long way in supporting those conversations." - Keren Ludski, CEO - Red Nose Australia
