RedBird's Grief Picture Book Guide has been developed to help parents, teachers, and clinicians support and educate grieving children ages 4-12 years old about grief after the death of a loved one.

Research has shown that caring communities, positive role models, and healthy coping skills are vital in helping children navigate the grief-related adversities they face. Having language and communication skills to do this can be difficult in communities where adults struggle to talk about grief.

We have created a short cut for you to discover the highest quality picture books on the topic of grief.

The Grief Picture Book Guide includes

  • Top 15 picture books on grief
  • 5 honorable mentions
  • Recommended ages icon to quickly locate best books for your child
  • Highlighting books featuring BIPOC illustrations and age-appropriate tools
  • Bereaved parent insights into each book

Picture books offer creative, insightful, and humorous ways for connecting and talking about our grief experiences.
