Molly’s rosebush by Janice Cohn, illustrated by Gail Owens. Albert Whitman and Company, 1994.
Molly remembers why they planted a pink rosebush in the garden. It was to acknowledge her baby brother or sister that wasn't strong enough to survive, and died in-utero. Molly's parents carefully explain what has happened and answer Molly's questions honestly, even if it means they acknowledge they don't know the answers. Molly's grandma helps explain things to Molly also. [Includes Notes for parents]
