An eleven-year-old boy has a secret, and this story of his legendary kindness deserves to be told forever.
After thirteen-year-old Jacinta’s dad passes away, she shares her insight in understanding the emotion of grief, and how sometimes it’s the children who are the heroes through their kindness, friendship, thoughtfulness, being helpful and reliable when life isn’t a bed of roses.
Flower Thief is a book that gently shares one family’s experience of grief. It provides explanations, suggests strategies, and provides examples of children’s kindness that are heart-warming. Flower Thief could be used as a resource for teachers or parents of children aged between ten and fifteen years old after the loss of a loved one.
