Today is not a holiday or the first day of school or even
my birthday, but it's a special day at my house. We even have it written on our
calendar: "ATTIC DAY."Every fall, a little boy and his family head up to the attic
to clean out things that have been put in storage throughout the year. This
year, Attic Day is a painful occasion as the little boy's father passed away
months earlier. Together, the little boy and his mother and grandpa face the
grief head on and uncover forgotten treasures while sharing stories and
memories of their lost loved one.
Grief is a difficult emotion for children to process.
Attic
Day creates a space where kids and their family members can experience and
work through their grief in a healthy and meaningful way. By reading this
sentimental book, children should be able to better understand loss and manage
feelings of sadness while fondly remembering their loved one who is now gone.
