BACK COVER
“Fox has lived a long and happy life in the forest, but now he is tired. He lies down in his favourite clearing, and falls asleep for ever. Before long, Fox's friends begin to gather in the clearing. One by one, they tell stories of the special moments that they shared with Fox. And so, as they share their memories, a tree begins to grow, becoming bigger and stronger with each memory, sheltering and protecting all the animals in the forest, just as Fox did when he was alive.”
Whether you’re an adult or a child, death is difficult for everyone. For parents and caregivers, it can be especially challenging discussing death and facing grief with our children. We may be processing our own deep emotions, unsure of our own beliefs, or have had a different relationship with the deceased than our child.
Studies show that a child’s early understanding of death impacts their feelings on the inevitable—for the rest of their life.
The Memory Tree helps families find connection between life and loss, and teaches us how to feel gratitude, even while we grieve.
