A Gentle, Therapeutic Story to Help Children Understand and Cope with the Death of a Loved One
Grief is confusing. For a child, it can feel overwhelming, isolating, and impossible to understand.
Where is Papa? A Kid-friendly Book About Grief and Loss is a compassionate and empowering story written by licensed marriage and family therapist, Anita Trone, to help children make sense of death, explore their emotions, and begin the healing process.
In this heartfelt and age-appropriate book, children follow the story of a young child navigating the sadness, questions, and changes that come with losing a loved one. Through simple language and expressive illustrations, young readers are gently guided to:
- Understand what grief is and that it is different for everyone
- Identify a range of emotions-like sadness, anger, fear, and even numbness
- Learn healthy ways to express feelings through talking, existing, and remembering
- Recognize that they are not alone-and that it's okay to ask questions and feel all their feelings
- Build emotional resilience while maintaining a positive view of themselves
Whether the loss is recent or happened some time ago, Where is Papa? offers validation, support, and hope for children ages 4-10. This book is an ideal resource for parents, caregivers, therapists, school counselors, and anyone supporting a grieving child.
Written by a mental health professional, this book is both a comforting story and a therapeutic tool-creating space for healing, open conversation, and emotional growth.
Because every child deserves to be seen, heard, and supported in their grief.
