Inhaltsangabe

You Can Always Talk to Possum at Life Forest is a story to help children and families navigate the difficult topic of grief. The story is told through the eyes of a child portrayed as a young chipmunk who has lost a beloved friend. Throughout the book, the chipmunk will meet other forest creatures that will teach him about the stages of grief and model positive coping strategies for different feelings children may experience after a loss. The goal is to help children and caregivers open a dialog about the difficult topic of death and provide tools to help manage some of the intricate emotions that come with grieving.
