We have all suffered the loss of a loved one in our lives, and most of us cringe at the thought of having our children exposed to death. When we think of children's books, it is usually cute fluffy characters and bright colors that are thought of, and certainly not the subject of death. Author Steve Butler has managed to write to children about the topic in a most comforting way.
We Do Remember You is a heartwarming and beautifully written story through which the author focuses on possible ways of "doing" our grief. With beautiful artwork by Grace Mayfield, the story takes place in the Heavens, and all of the little Angels are wondering who back on Earth remembers them and how.
The author takes us through many special ways that we can remember our loved ones and the happiness that it brings the Angels above. It is an inspirational story for bereaved readers and families and if possible, lightens the subject of loss and death.
