People We Miss is a children's book about grief by Kimmie Warmflash. The author reminds children that the people who are no longer here can still inspire and motivate them, even if they never met them. Warmflash encourages children to remember special people or listen to interesting stories about them. She explains they may not be the only people who wish treasured individuals were still around and other people in their family may miss them and want to talk about them. Warmflash provides a list of useful suggestions for remembering deceased individuals and urges readers to try one or more of the options when they're ready. The activities may be done individually or with others who are grieving. Warmflash also supplies an alternative for readers who may not be prepared to express their grief.
In her lovely, rhyming book, Kimmie Warmflash helps children cope with the loss of someone dear to them. Even though the illustrations make it seem like a story about ways to remember deceased individuals, the book can apply to friends and relatives with whom the children no longer communicate. The ideas in the book demonstrate beautiful tributes to lost loved ones, and the words may help open up a conversation with children about their emotions after a loved one passes away. My children lost their beloved grandmother last year, and after we read the book, we used the music suggestion to remember her. People We Miss is a great selection for families who hope to find ways for children to express their feelings after they lose someone they treasure.
