A multi-award-winning story about dealing with the loss of a loved one, The Memory Box has been an invaluable resource for thousands of families. From the perspective of a young child, author Joanna Rowland artfully describes what it's like to remember and grieve a loved one who has died. The child in the story wonders if she will forget the person who has gone. Other days I wonder if I'll ever stop feeling sad you are gone. The main character creates a memory box to keep mementos and written memories of her loved one to help with the grieving process. Throughout the narrative, the child's feelings are acknowledged, allowed, and assured that feelings are normal and healthy to express. Heartfelt and comforting, The Memory Box helps children, parents, educators, therapists, and social workers talk about this very difficult topic together. The unique point of view allows each reader to imagine the loss of someone they've loved -- a friend, family member, or even a pet. A guide in the back includes information to help children manage grief and offers suggestions on how to create a memory box. Recommended and adopted by parenting blogs, bereavement support groups, hospice centers, social service agencies, military library services, church groups, and educators, The Memory Box offers a very simple approach to overcoming loss, separation, and disappointment while also giving support and encouragement that children easily understand. A perfect companion to this book is The Memory Book: A Grief Journal for Children and Families that helps children record stories, memories, and feelings as an honoring keepsake to be cherished for years to come. "When a loved one dies, children need consolation, love, support, and affection. The Memory Box addresses a difficult subject sensitively. This beautiful book will help start the grieving process and support children to talk about their loved one in a normal, healthy way." --Sue Atkins, author of Parenting Made Easy: How to Raise Happy Children

A beautiful look at the most difficult subject
I recently lost my Mother and my four year old was extremely upset about Her passing. This book was recommended to my Wife and we have read it with our son and used it to talk to him, in a positive way about the subject of death and loss. The illustrations by Thea Baker are superb and Joanna Rowland's storytelling is sensitive and emotive. My Wife and I would recommend this book to Children of all ages.

Great for children 6-10.
I have brought 2 of these to help children try to understand death. Unfortunately children struggle but this book really helped my neice when she lost her grandad to COVID and I brought it for my friends children when they lost their grandmother also to COVID.It’s a great little book and really helped them all with coming to terms with the death of a loved one. I will buy it again next time it’s needed. The age range of the children I got this for was 6-10 years old.

Sensitively written and gentle illustration
The book deals with death and does tug on your heartstrings. I think it's a beautiful book. It does have I think two pages depicting Christian images

Marvelous! ✨ Merveilleux!
This book is perfect for reading with childs who have lost someone important for them. Not only about death. I would use it for other reasons too, like moving to another country and lost friends, for example. In the story, the child makes a "memory box", putting things that will help to never forget what that person was. It doesn't say : to make it, you have to do this blabla... It simply shows the child doing it, but at the end, we want to make one, too! 🙂 // Ce livre est parfait pour lire avec un enfant qui a perdu un proche. On y voit un enfant qui fait une boîte de souvenirs, pour ne pas oublier cette personne. Le livre n'est pas un mode d'emploi, ça ne dit pas : pour en faire une, il faut faire ceci etc. On voit simplement l'enfant qui la fait; du sable qui rappelle une sortie à la plage, un cahier pour noter des souvenirs, etc. À la fin, on a le goût d'en faire une! Je l'utiliserais pas seulement pour un décès; on voit un cimetière plus loin, mais la mort n'est pas nommée. Ça pourrait aider aussi, lors de la perte d'êtres chers, par exemple suite à un déménagement... C'est une façon créative de traverser une épreuve et d'en faire quelque chose de positif! 😉
