Fox and the Feather / El Zorro y la Pluma book cover

The Fox and Cardinal are best friends. One day the Cardinal explains that he, “is sick and dying,” but reminds the Fox to look for signs to remind him they will always be together. One of those signs is a feather.

This children’s book gives hope to the grieving heart and can also help open conversations on death, grief, and loss. We recommend this book for younger children ages 2 – 10 and encourage you to incporporate one of the activities that Kendall has crafted to accompany the book. The scarf activity is great for memory making and “letting go.” There are also free puppet printouts to facilitate and utilize play to aid in coping. At the end of the book, you will also find caregiver resources, such as developmental stages of grief and communication strategies. Available in both English and Bilingual English/Spanish.

——————————————————–

El Zorro y el Cardenal son los mejores amigos. Un día, el Cardenal le explica que “está enfermo y moribundo”, pero le recuerda al Zorro que busque señales que le recuerden que siempre estarán juntos. Una de esas señales es una pluma.

Este libro infantil (bilingüe) da esperanza al corazón en duelo y también puede ayudar a abrir conversaciones sobre la muerte, el duelo y la pérdida. Recomendamos este libro para niños de 2 a 10 años y recomendamos incorporar una de las actividades que Kendall ha creado para acompañar el libro. La actividad del pañuelo es ideal para hacer memoria y “dejarse llevar”. También hay impresiones gratuitas de marionetas para facilitar y utilizar el juego como herramienta de afrontamiento. Al final del libro, también encontrará recursos para cuidadores, como las etapas de desarrollo del duelo y estrategias de comunicación.
