I'm Small, but I Lost Someone Big - Paperback

How do you explain the unimaginable to a child?

When someone we love dies-especially when it's sudden, especially when it's suicide-it turns the whole world upside down. For a child, it's not just sadness. It's confusion, fear, anger. It's questions they don't know how to ask.

I'm Small, but I Lost Someone Big is a children's book about grief, written from the raw, real experience of a mom trying to help her son understand the death of his dad. It's gentle. It's honest. And it's meant to help families, caregivers, therapists, and teachers talk about the hardest parts of life-without tiptoeing, and without making kids feel like they're alone in it.

This book was written to help children:

• Feel seen and understood in their grief

• Put words to complicated emotions

• Connect with characters who are going through something similar

• Start conversations with the grown-ups they trust

With simple language and beautifully human illustrations, I'm Small, but I Lost Someone Big creates space for healing-whether you're in the middle of fresh loss or just opening the door to talking about big feelings.

Recommended for ages 4-9 (but honestly, older kids-and grown-ups-might need it too).
