The boy and the gorilla 5 yrs+

The boy and the gorilla is an impressive picture book for children from 5 years old about death. This picture book impresses. The questions and comments the boy has are raw. 'Mommy is dead' and 'I miss mommy'. The gorilla's answers are reassuring. "Can't mom come home again?" "No", says the gorilla "But she is always with you".

Together with his fantasy gorilla, the animal that comforts the boy, the boy mourns the loss of his mother. He asks gorilla questions about missing and death. The gorilla answers the questions that make the boy feel comforted.

A picture book that can encourage children who do not dare to talk about their grief and fears surrounding the death of a loved one to discuss this. The text is written by Jackie Azua Kramer and the illustrations are by Cindy Derby.
