Life is Like the Wind
A Big Hug Book
Shona Innes, Írisz Agócs (Illustrator)
This tender picture book offers a gentle introduction to the concepts of life and death, using the metaphor of wind to explain that although we can't always see or hold on to someone we love, their presence and influence remain. It supports children through grief with honesty and comfort.
Why It’s Included
This book aligns with our philosophy of treating children with emotional respect and honesty. It provides a developmentally sensitive way to talk about death, offering comfort without minimising the reality of loss. It is particularly helpful for families navigating the death of a loved one or pet.
Who It’s For
Recommended for children aged 4 to 9 who have experienced loss or are beginning to ask questions about death. This book is a gentle support for families choosing to process grief together with openness and care.
