A Pillow for My Mom

Soft but detailed illustrations provide a soothing back drop for a rather stark script. It is an honest rendition of the emotional pain caused by serious illness and/or loss of a loved one. The interwoven message of comfort makes this book a worthwhile addition to the library of anyone, especially those who have contact with pre-teen and younger children. Because specifics are left unsaid, this book could create a promising opportunity for discussion with any grieving child.
