The Scar by Charlotte Moundlic and Olivier Tallec (ages 5 to 9)

When his mother dies, a little boy reacts honestly to his profound loss in this poignant snapshot of grief. The boy candidly describes his loss and concern for his grieving father with heartfelt immediacy. Simple illustrations stress the boy’s distress and isolation while powerfully conveying his progression from anger and fear to sadness and acceptance. “An invaluable resource for adults who need to understand what grief means to a child-and perhaps for a grieving child, as a roadmap through it.”
