Dave Roberts –
Tracy Harding did an exemplary job writing a book that demonstrates how children how can honor their deceased loved ones and that saying goodbye is more often than not saying hello. Her book minimizes the fear of death for a child. Great illustrations as well! Anna’s Big Wish is a book that I would highly recommend to parents and educators alike.
