The encouraging and simple activities and exercises tackle the feelings associated with grief, bereavement and family separation. Children will feel the release of using their creativity to channel negative feelings and work out how to cope with these emotions through writing, colouring, doodling and drawing. The quirky illustrations will keep the reader entertained and focused as they work through the book, or simply dip into the pages for ten minutes of calm colouring.
