This Is Not A Sad Book is truly not a sad book!
It's actually a practical, compassionate guide full of strategies and ideas to support yourself or someone else through grief, loss and hard times.
In some parts you might even find yourself smiling.
Most importantly of all – the stories, tips and advice in these pages are a reminder that even in our darkest hours, there is a way through.
KBR's very own, Elizabeth Vercoe teams ups with Melbourne-based illustrator, Grace Fraraccio to create a warm tender book that empowers young people to create space for feeling and healing. Originally published twenty years ago as, The Grief Book, with Kerry Abramowski, this revised Children's Book Council of Australia Honour Book edition is deeply personal and endearing.
