博客來If a child in your life is having a tough time with their emotions when a parent travels, a friend moves to another town, loved ones live a long distance away, or a special person or pet passes on, We’ll Always Share the Moon reminds kids that no matter how far apart they may be from those they care for, that they’re always sharing the same big bright moon.
- When loved ones travel...
- When a parent works far from home...
- When a best bud moves away...
- When relatives live in another town or even country...
- When someone you love passes away...
- When you experience the loss of a pet...
- And when little ones grow bigger than the adults who’ve raised them...
- They’ll always share the moon.
The final passage of We’ll Always Share the Moon gently explains to children that it’s okay to feel sad sometimes, but when feelings become too big and too scary, the child must share their truths with an adult in their lives whom they trust.
The illustrations in We’ll Always Share the Moon are bold, bright, and beautiful. Artist Arianne Quinn’s drawings bring the characters to life and will capture the imagination of your child. Use the scenes as a natural conversation starter about feelings of sadness, loneliness, grief, and love. Chat with your child about how they might feel in similar situations. Consider ways they might cope with their big feelings. Use the characters’ experiences to open a dialog and share wonderful memories about those you’re missing and grieving.
The main characters in We’ll Always Share the Moon, who are based on the author’s own children, are surrounded by people they love, as well as their lovable grey and white furry friend. Can your child find her on every page? Sometimes she’s sweet and sometimes she’s mischievous!
