Our next recommended read is Muddles, Puddles and Sunshine, a thoughtful activity book designed to help children explore their feelings after the loss of someone they love.

Filled with creative exercises, gentle prompts and space to draw or write, it encourages children to express their memories and emotions in their own time and their own way.

It’s a supportive tool for families looking to open conversations and nurture healing together.

The Memory Tree is a gentle and beautifully illustrated story that helps children understand loss through the theme of memories.

When Fox dies, the forest animals gather to share stories about him and as each memory is told, a special tree grows stronger and taller. It’s a touching reminder that the people we love live on in the moments we shared.

For families supporting a child through bereavement, The Memory Tree offers comfort, reassurance, and a meaningful way to talk about remembering someone special.

In The Madness of Grief, Rev Richard Coles writes openly about the loss of his partner and the emotional, often unexpected journey that followed. His honesty, humour, and compassion remind us that grief doesn’t follow rules and that it’s okay to feel a whole mix of emotions along the way.

If you’re looking for a book that feels both truthful and gently comforting, this may be a meaningful read.
