Something Very Sad Happened: A Toddler's Guide to Understanding Death: A Toddler’s Guide to Understanding Death

This book was great when my mom died it explains it well for my 3 year old

We just lost my grandmother, and I had no idea how to talk to my 3yr old about death. This book was super helpful, and the fact that it’s so simple and gives simple examples that are age appropriate was great. The notes section for parents and caregivers was super helpful. My son still asks me to read this once in a while, and he’ll will remind me “Gigi died, but we can still see her pictures”

We lost my mither who had been living with us for most of my son's life. He was turning 4 soon and to find the words to explain why we are sad or angry or why she's not coming home again to someone so young was the hardest thing. In very simple words without talking about heaven or angels we were able to explain to him why his grandmother wasn't coming home again, why there was so many emotions in the house. It is an excellent book and it helped us more than we could imagine.

¡Hermoso! Lo que me gusta es que a pesar de que la historia cuenta que es la muerte de la abuelita, las imágenes no lo muestran, lo que permite más la idea de entender la partida de alguien que uno ya no va a ver y también puedes dejar abierto a cambiar a otros miembros de la familia (principalmente si el niño aun no sabe leer).

It’s a lovely book, well illustrated and addressed the emotions of loss. It puts the interchangeable words on bold so you can change it to the relevant person. Would be lovely if they did a version for Dad/Mum. This was grandma.
