WHERE DID MY FRIEND GO?
A Children’s Book About Death
Without the right guidance, death can be a very confusing and overwhelming concept for a child to grasp. As parents, grandparents, and guardians, it is our duty to understand how to explain death to children in a healthy, honest, and responsible way as it will lay the foundation of their relationship with the concept.
Upcoming Books
After her debut children’s book, Family Changes: Explaining Divorce to Children Dr. Azmaira H. Maker is happily moving forward with a number of books to help open communication and understanding between parents and children. Some conversations are difficult, and figuring out where to begin doesn’t always come easy. Dr. Maker is hopeful that these stories, founded in well-established theory, research, and clinical expertise, will help families find an easier path to open communication.
