Where The Lost Things Go, Paperback, Signed by Illustrator, Sheila McGraw

Written by Barbara Farnsworth, Illustrated by Sheila McGraw

From the baffling misplacement of any everyday item to the mysterious mate-less sock in the dryer, lost things are part of life. Adults learn coping skills for loss, whether it be a pang of disappointment or true grief; however, children exist in the present. Whatever the child has lost, however trivial it may be, that loss can seem like an overwhelming event.

This book takes a reassuring approach to loss as the child's mother, in an understanding and supportive tone, assures her child that one day--a day that's a long long long way off --all the lost toys, clothes, and things will be waiting for him in Heaven.
