🌿Bee Trudgeon from The Sapling has put together a thoughtful list of book recommendations for children coping with loss through su***de. Among the titles featured is I Don't Like Wednesdays by Linda Tuhiwai Smith, illustrated by Isobel Te Aho-White, which is part of the Whatumanawa Collection.

Bree writes, “My brother, Apa, died on a Wednesday…” This simple (yet devastating) sentence gives us a way to approach overwhelming grief, breaking it down one day at a time. Deeply connected to many cherished memories and routines the brothers shared, Wednesdays shift from being the younger sibling’s favorite day to one he wishes he could erase from the calendar.'

💛
When asked about what motivated Sacha and Josh to write this book, they responded, ‘Our son is a similar age to Charlie in the story. We want our little boy to grow up in a world where talking about feelings is normal and encouraged – where it brings you closer together, not further apart. This book is a way of sharing that hope not just for our son, but for other parents and their kids too' – Sacha Cotter and Josh Morgan.

🪨🪨Humorous and light-hearted, A Guide to Rocks, and the Māori language edition He Taonga te Toka invites readers to explore how boys and men deal with their feelings – using the metaphor of carrying rocks for emotions.
Dad gives Charlie a dusty rule book with ways to hide ‘rocks’, but when they try everything and fail, they need to rewrite the rules – fast. With striking illustrations and skillful writing, this book promises to be an eye-catcher and a heart-warmer particularly for boys and their parents, and for parents of children who struggle to find words for their feelings.

⭐A Guide to Rocks and He Taonga te Toka are both available from your favourite bookstores and online here 👉👉🏽https://bit.ly/3E1Hc0v👈👈🏽
