Reseña del libro "Lost But Found: A Boy's Story of Grief and Recovery (en Inglés)"
Lost But Found: A Boy's Story of Grief and Recovery deals with one of the toughest issues a parent may ever have to face-explaining to a child that a loved one has died. Often, to protect them, parents leave children out of the grieving process. This book allows adults to travel with a young boy as he works to make sense of his loss-and, in turn, their own.I wrote this book to allow children to ask questions and talk about their fears and feelings. What I have found is that often children have better insights on these hard life questions than the adults in the room! "The endearing simplicity and musicality of Lauren's words burst with unspoken emotion, leaving room for every child's experience. Noah's illustrations portray tender human contact, comforting young readers and the families who love them." --Pegi Deitz Shea, award-winning children's book authorLost But Found is a sweet book with beautiful pictures that tackles grief at a developmental level for a very young child. The ambiguous term "to lose" somebody is demystified, as a young boy comes to understand what happened to his father and how their connection lives on. -- Laurie Zelinger, PhD, ABPP, RPT-S, board certified psychologist and author, former director of New York Association for Play TherapyLost But Found is a brief story that faces a difficult and important topic--the loss of a parent. The story provides a two-pronged approach a caregiver can use as a starting point to discuss this delicate topic with a child: a sense of perspective and hope for the future, and the idea that we, as children, can find "pieces" of our parents around us and inside us. I appreciate the incentive to reflect on and remember who the lost parent was and how he/she lives on through his child. -- Isabella Cassina, MA, TP-S, CAGS, PhD student, project manager, trainer and continuing education program administrator (CEPA), INA International Academy for Play Therapy studies and Psychosocial Projects"With simple, accessible words and drawings, Lost but Found perfectly captures the experience of loss, and the power of memory and love." -- Amy N.
