Samantha Jane’s missing smile by Julie Kaplow and Donna Pincus

Samantha Jane’s missing smile: a story about coping with the loss of a parent by Julie Kaplow and Donna Pincus, illustrated by Beth Speigel. Magination Press 2007.

Obviously written so that aspects of the grief process can be raised, discussed and dealt with. Often, with such didactic stories, the story part misses out. Although not the greatest story, and the purpose behind it is very obvious to the adult reader, this reads quite well.
