Add a gift receipt for easy returns "Baker's mixed-media collages integrate bits of fabric and softly textured papers, creating a homey atmosphere that dovetails nicely with the girl's homemade box." --Publishers Weekly "A small children's book can't say everything, but it can say something very important. This wonderfully illustrated book does just that. Joanna Rowland gently reminds a hurting child that amid the pain of losing a loved one to death, their love remains alive in memory and relationships, and that love is not diminished even as the child is called to go on living. Many young (and old!) hearts will find real comfort and courage in these pages." -- Kelly M. Kapic, author of Embodied Hope: A Theological Meditation on Pain and Suffering "When a loved one dies, children need consolation, love, support, and affection. The Memory Box addresses this difficult subject sensitively. This beautiful book will help start the grieving process and support children to talk about their loved on in a normal,healthy way." -- Sue Atkins, author of Parenting Made Easy: How to Raise Happy Children The Memory Box is a 2017 Moonbeam Children’s Book Awards winner--a contest intended to bring increased recognition to exemplary children's books and their creators, and to support childhood literacy and life-long reading. Joanna Rowland grew up in Sacramento, California, where she still lives today with her husband and three children. She teaches kindergarten by day and writes picture books at night. In the summer, you'll find her at the pool coaching synchronized swimming or cozying up with a book. She is the author of The Memory Box: A Book about Grief; The Memory Book: A Grief Journal for Children and Families; and Stay Through the Storm.

Aug 19, 2020 Lizzie Stewart rated it really liked it A solid book about one way a child might maintain a connection with a deceased loved one, The Memory Box introduces the idea of gathering cherished memories and keeping them in a box. While this book is not quite as expansive as others on the topic, it is a very practical, hands on contribution to the selection of books about grief for children. I will definitely use this book as a foray into therapeutic activities in my work with children.
#FirstLine ~I lost my balloon once. A must for families to help young ones dealing with and processing grief and loss. I work in emergency victim services and cannot wait to incorporate this book and journal into resources for the families we service. This book is not only beautifully written, but also beautifully illustrated. The book and journal duo is a great way for families to come together and celebrate and remember those we have loved and
lost!

Jul 12, 2019 Lillian rated it it was amazing This book is an excellent book to use for a beginning conversation on grief. I have made memory boxes to give to someone grieving. Having a child make a memory box is a special hands-on project that allows the child to have a conversation, time for reflection, and a
keepsake in which to add more memories - new ones and old. When I meet with grieving children, I find that when they are distracted with an activity they are likely to open up. And then there are times when it allows them to "be" and When I meet with grieving children, I find that when they are distracted with an activity they are likely to open up. And then there are times when it allows them to "be" and not be pressured to engage. Creativity is a good tool to use when healing hearts. The heart of the individual can be freely expressed without judgment or expectation. A child often has difficulty
expressing themselves. They have questions that are hard to articulate. The number one question is often "what do I do with my feelings"? Even though they may not express it as such. The memory box gives them a physical space to place feelings and memories that raise questions about their feelings. Will I always feel sad? Is it okay to be happy? And even helping when the time comes they have moments when they feel alarmed they have forgotten the loved one or a particular memory. Each page
has simply statements that any child can relate to give them pause for thought. It can give them comfort that other children have had the same feelings. And finally, it's a good book for anyone to read who is looking for insight into what children may be thinking and feeling when living with a loss.

The concepts in this book are explained on a level that most young children will be able to understand, and most adults will be able to implement.

The girl's journey through her loss was really touching. It's a great look at how the loss of a loved one can change our lives and how we can actively remember and celebrate them, even while missing them. The collages are beautiful, full of colorful textures that just gave a soft and comforting vibe.

Sep 07, 2019 Sandy Brehl rated it really liked it A gently structured story of a young person using a memory box device to gather and recall and share various memory-triggers for a loved one who has passed. The concept translate well to the specific activity, but also to the various (and universal) feelings of loss, worries about additional loss of memories, and the soothing/healing effects of time.

This way her memory will never fade. Some days are good for the girl, other days she is sad. I
love how realistic this book is, the process of grieving isnt easy and this book shows the little things you can do to make it easier. Like thinking about the special times with your loved one, and to keep doing those things.. Because this way the memory keeps living. I also think the illustrations are amazing, they show perspective. It's got illustrations in birds eye view looking down on the girl. It's also got texture, you can see and feel how warm the grandmother's knitted blanket was in the
picture. You can see the girl is happy on the sunny days, and see that she is not so good on the gloomy days. Overall, this book is sad, but it's realistic. And a suffering child might really benefit from hearing that other people have gone through and overcome the sadness that comes with losing someone.

This is a good picture book on how to deal with grief. I feel the book is good for all ages to read.
Aug 16, 2021 Suzie rated it it was amazing I had to pre-read this before I read it to the kids, wait a few weeks, and then read it aloud to them with my most cheery voice so that I wouldn’t cry. LOL It is a lovely book though. It handles death in a delicate way for children and presents a great idea of creating a memory box to remember someone a child has loved and lost.
Dec 28, 2021 Heydi Smith rated it really liked it This book ripped me apart. I needed it so badly but man did it hurt. This is a story of a young child who is worried she’ll forget her loved one that has died. She thinks of ways to remember them. Ways so she won’t forget important pieces and memories. I love this
story. I think everyone should have this book, as painful as it is. It’s so very needed.
Not a book I hope my granddaughter has to read anytime soon, but a wonderful book for any child missing someone they love who has died. This is a perfect book to help children through the grieving process.
