It’s Not Fair!
A book for children and for those helping them after someone close has died
Blurb
“I want my Mum,” Frankie told Grandma.
“I know you do,” Grandma said. “I’m so sorry that I can’t make her come back.”
Frankie is trying to deal with her Mum having died and doesn’t want to do anything anymore.
Albie is struggling to cope with his Dad’s death and is often angry, arguing with his friends and getting into trouble. Both children are helped by kind, caring adults who help them to understand what’s going on and say out loud what’s inside so that they can begin to deal with what has happened and their many feelings about it.
