The Adventures of Flapjack: Saying Goodbye (A Book for Children Dealing with Loss) - A Readers' Favorite Award Finalist
Saying Goodbye appeals to children who:
- Have lost or are about to lose a loved one;
- Need a little guidance through the confounding issues of death and dying, loss, grieving, and acceptance; or
- could use a friend to help them through the toughest of times.
This sad yet uplifting book is a wonderful way for family members, teachers, therapists and counsellors to help children deal with grief and loss. And, it is said to have benefitted adults too
Flapjack's best friend was a mallard duck named Fowler. Now, Flappy has learned that his friend is dying. He must travel far to say goodbye, but what would he say? What happens when Fowler dies? Will he ever see his friend again? Life is a mystery, but as Flappy would say, "I don't know why."
This is the third in a series of three books in "The Adventures of Flapjack" series and is a Readers' Favorite Award Finalist. The series consists of narrative poems about an intrepid Australian Shepherd who faces challenges like those typically encountered by children. They can stand alone, or better yet, can be read sequentially.
