Great Grandma Flew Away Today

Four year old Emma and her cousins are coming to terms with the loss of their beloved Great Grandmother. She tries to make sense of the multi-generational relationships in her family; grandmothers, great-grandmothers, cousins, uncles and aunts. She also also grapples with the questions that children face when watching the health of a loved-one decline. Emma's Daddy, Grandmother and cousins share family time and feelings about losing someone who they all love very much. Often when the family is struck by tragedy, the adults have to be intentional about including the children in the experience and creating space for them to ask questions and share. This touching fictional book that is inspired by the real life family of the author explores a family's grief process through the eyes of a child.
