In Harriet’s Heartbroken Heart twins Harriet and Harrison do everything together until Harrison becomes seriously ill and then dies.
Harriet is devastated, of course, but works through her grief and finds hope at the end of the story.
This book manages to cover the painful topic of death without being depressing, and the illustrations by Jack Foster are cheerful and cute.
It will be a wonderful help to children dealing with grief from the death of anyone they love. And kids who know someone else dealing with grief will find it helpful, too.
Counselors who work with kids should all have copies available to share with them.
Authors Lainie and Nika Belcastro have both worked with children dealing with emotional pain, so they were highly qualified to write this book.
There are very few books available for kids coping with the death of a loved one, so Harriet’s Heartbroken Heart is much needed.
