Mama’s Going to Heaven Soon

Author: Kathe Martin Copeland

A compassionate yet straightforward story to assist young children, ages 8-11, and their caregivers as they deal with an impending death of a parent. The bright, childlike artwork and simple, straightforward language offers readers a hopeful message. The book does not specify what is wrong with the mother, so it could apply to a number of situations or illnesses. A back matter section offers caregivers additional tips on how to talk to children about a parent’s death.
