You Will Be Okay: Find Strength, Stay Hopeful and Get to Grips With Grief by Julie Stokes Wren and Rook ISBN 9781526363893 £9.99
Julie Stokes, OBE, is a – chartered clinical psychologist, an executive coach and founder of the childhood bereavement charity Winston’s Wish. She has produced an excellent book about grief. It guides the reader through the stages of grief and deals with a range of emotions. The language is direct and accessible and the tone is supportive and sensitive. There are practical suggestions and questions to think about. I enjoyed the sections about real people such as Roald Dahl, Tom Daley and Dawn French. An important book for anyone age 9+ that helps readers manage their grief and help someone who is experiencing grief so that they can move forward in life. It should be in every school library, and in the staffroom.
