Book Nook - How to Say A Good-Bye!

 How to Say AGOOD-Bye!, is touching hearts and guiding families through one of life’s most difficult experiences — the death of a loved one.

 

Aimed at young readers aged 1 to 10, this story offers a gentle, age-appropriate approach to grief that parents and caregivers are calling it heartfelt, compassionate, and deeply helpful.

Written by Dr. Maria Stylianou, an educational psychologist with decades of experience supporting children and families, this book shares the experiences of three little friends — Pete, John, and Zoe – and is a self-help psychological counselling tool in disguise.

Based on sound therapeutic principles and carefully crafted to meet the developmental needs of young children, readers explore how different people process grief in different ways, while learning that saying goodbye doesn’t mean forgetting.

Serving as a comforting and constructive resource for families at any stage of the grief journey, How to Say a GOOD-Bye! encourages open dialogue, emotional literacy, and healing.

Synopsis:

How to Say a GOOD-Bye! is a tiny tale about three little friends, Pete, John and Zoe, and how they each come to terms with the loss of a loved one.

Written by an educational psychologist, Dr Maria Stylianou, this self-help psychological parental counselling book is for the ears and psyche of both adults and children alike.
