A book about learning to say goodbye.
By Rachel Rivett and illustrated byTina Macnaughton.
Grandmother Bear has gone for ever, and Little Bear
is feeling sad. His mother wisely suggests that perhaps asking his woodland
companions what saying goodbye means to them will help him understand his loss.
Little Bear's day of exploring and asking questions brings him comfort and
hope.
For the swallows, saying goodbye means flying to
warmer lands; for the leaves of the trees it is a chance to be free, leaving
the tree at her most beautiful; for the moon it is to return to be with the
Sun; and for the Sun it is to rise in another sky and just because Little Bear
can't see him doesn't mean he isn't there.
This charmingly illustrated picture book will help
young children in times of bereavement, loss or change, gently exploring the
reasons for saying goodbye and giving reassurance that goodbye doesn't mean the
end of things.
