When Uncle Bob Died illustrated by Sarah Wimperis

When someone special dies a child may need to talk about them and share their feelings, their confusion and their sadness. This thoughtful book offers a good starting point for discussing death and children's concerns about it.

A spread from When Uncle Bob Died

Su said her cousin Robert had died in a car accident last holidays. She had been playing with him the day before. She went to his funeral, and his friends sang his favourite pop song.

Su said 'He was my age, I still can't really believe I won't see him again.' She cried a bit when she told us. Our teacher said it can help to talk about our feelings, and share our sadness.
