A picture book geared to help parents and counselors communicate with young children about a parent amp rsquo s suicide.
Oliver amp rsquo s daddy loved him-a whole bunch, forever and for always. One day Oliver amp rsquo s daddy died by suicide. Why? Oliver amp rsquo s mommy hugs him tight, and she tells him why. And she reassures Oliver that his daddy loved him-and that will never change.
In developmentally appropriate language and evocative illustrations, this picture book helps open communication about why a parent completes suicide. A reader amp rsquo s note offers more information about supporting children who have lost a parent to suicide.
