Shirley Hanley has written a beautiful book featuring the harness racing horse and broodmare, Luck Ahead. The story is really the story within the story. Hanley worked for many years as a facilitator for grieving children. This work evokes emotions for young and old alike. Death, dying, and grieving are part of life. This story gently introduces young people to this idea. However, the story moves you quickly to remembering the happy moments -- the gifts and teachings of parents, grandparents, loved ones, and children. This book presents a learning moment -- a shared opportunity for parent and child to move through what may be a sad situation and realize and focus upon happier times -- what we learn from the ones we love.
A must read for parents -- a must read for hospice workers!
A must read for educators working with grieving children!
