I Miss the Baby by Irma G Prosser reminds readers that everyone goes through the grieving process differently. Grieving for a miscarried baby is a tragic experience that a child may respond to in many different ways. The child may want to be hugged, or they may act out of anger. Then there’s the chance that they may not show much of a reaction at all. It is important to know that children express how they feel differently and that their response to losing a loved one, including a miscarried baby, is natural and normal.
I Miss the Baby by Irma G Prosser is an insightful picture book that enlightens the reader on how children may respond to the loss of a baby. The illustrations by Emma Arellano are colorful images that show the different responses children may have as they grieve. The sensitive way that Prosser explains the various reactions a child could have after the death of a baby they may or may not have met will help children and their parents understand that there is nothing wrong with the way they respond. I love how the author leaves a note for parents at the end of the story to let them know that the child’s reaction to the tragedy is natural. This book will help children process loss and help parents understand that grief comes in many forms.
