Vol. 1 ~ Death, Grief, and Loss
A Guide for Parents, Caregivers, Educators, Counsellors, and Other Helpers to Talk about Difficult Topics
|
Woodland Wisdom Books ~ Vol. 1 ~ Death, Grief, and Loss starts off with a guide for adults to help navigate difficult subjects with children.
Then the story for the children begins. We follow Ann the Arctic Fox, who is a Social Worker in Woodland Woods, as she helps the community find healthy ways to deal with the death of the Great Elk. Ann starts a Grief Group and many animals from Woodland Woods come to share their experiences with having someone they love die. Ann shares some information about grief and encourages the group to find healthy ways to express their feelings. After the story is done, there are a few activities that some might find helpful to express thoughts and feelings they are having about grief. One of the activities is making a Remembering Quilt which was inspired by a gift my Grandmother gave to me and I am so happy to get to share it with you. |

Woodland Wisdom Books ~ Vol. 2 ~ My Many, Many, Many Feelings follows Cole the Coyote through a difficult week at school. Each day he has a different problem to face until one day he finds a new coping skill to help him deal with his feelings in a healthy way.
This book shows how our feelings affect our bodies and can cause us to have stomachaches, backaches, and headaches. I often have children tell me that they think they are sick with a cold/flu when it is clear that they are in a stressful situation and more likely they are experiencing stress related pain. Let's help kids combat their pain by giving them healthy ways to express how they feel. This book also has a guide for adults on how to help children dealing with difficult issues and activities at the back of the book for you to do alongside the child to help them find healthy ways to show their thoughts and feelings. |
