The Copper Tree, written by Hilary Robinson, illustrated by Mandy Stanley

The Copper Tree

New Book! Published 19th April 2012

When Olivia’s teacher, Miss Evans, dies, the children at her school are encouraged to think of everything that reminds them of her.

Written with touching sensitivity and sprinkled with light hearted moments, ‘The Copper Tree’ is about love and legacy and will help children understand that while sadness is an inevitable part of grief, death is not necessarily the end… for what is left behind can be everlasting.

With understanding, humour and care, the children in the book are safely guided through this most difficult transitional process. I loved this book and whole heartedly commend its use.
