Nestled within, the "Cozy Caterpillar Family" story helps explain death to even the youngest child. No other resource offers so much in one beautiful little package. Highly recommended by mental health professionals, pediatricians, clergy, and families who have suffered such a loss.

Sad about Sammy is designed to help by offering read-aloud text and engaging, colorful illustrations for young children, coupled with helpful parent information geared toward navigating delicate matters of sibling and family grief. The dual-sided approach to telling the story allows for two completely different, yet parallel experiences to happen side by side, parent, and child.
