What’s Happened to Baby?
By Skylight, Sands and SIDS
This is an inviting, sensitively written and colourfully illustrated picture book for children 3–7 years old, who have had a baby die in their family/whānau.
The text has been carefully designed to fit a wide range of bereavement situations, including miscarriage, stillbirth, cot death and accidental or natural death of an infant or toddler.
It has been designed with the whole family/whānau in mind and provides a helpful opportunity for parents and caregivers to talk with a young child about this difficult loss.
It also features useful notes and information for adults at the back to assist them in supporting their bereaved child.
Ali Teo’s illustrations and the text combine very effectively to reflect the multicultural nature of the New Zealand community today.
