Every library should have this large volume. You will see a Special Subject Index, in which many books are listed specifically about death, also about divorce and other losses. One of those books listed is a favorite of mine because it deals with a loss that almost every child has experienced: the death of a pet. The Tenth Good Thing About Barney by Judith Viorst. Published in 1971 and still as pertinent as it was then. Aladdin. And for adults who are seeking to counsel and console their children about loss, there is a new book, written by Ted Bowman, who has worked for years in family literacy and family counseling: Finding Hope When Dreams Have Shattered. This can be ordered from Bowman at 2111 Knapp Street, St. Paul, MN. 55108-1814. Phone 651-645-6058. Bless you for not being afraid to deal with this subject. Meta Potts Glendale, Arizona
