ExchangeEveryDay Past Issues

In an August 29, 2016 Time article, Elegy With a Side of Applesauce, Sarah Begley ponders questions about helping children cope with the death of a loved one.

"How much can they understand about permanence? What should they be told about the possibility of an afterlife? How will they move on?"

Begley recommends a new children’s book, Applesauce Weather by Helen Frost, as an aid to parents and caregivers trying to address these issues. She describes the book’s value this way: "It presents a continuity between generations, showing kids how to value a life well lived, even as they anticipate the one about to unfold in front of them. That makes this pleasantly old-fashioned book an appealing resource for grieving kids and parents alike."

"Reading The Goodness of Rain made my heart soar. With her beautiful descriptions of guiding young Dylan into seeing the details of the natural world around her, Ann Pelo offers us a clear picture of how we can offer children a strong sense of place in their upbringing." – Margie Carter Join author Ann Pelo on her year-long journey as she nurtures the ecological identity of a toddler and discovers for herself what it means to live in relationship with the natural world.
