Discoverying Dying

Beschreibung

While scanning Facebook, a request from a grandmother touched my heart. This grandmother asked if anyone knew of books for children about dying. While there are many wonderful books on the subject, I grasped the opportunity for Thelma and her friends to help children learn about dying from a young person's perspective. It is my great privilege to offer to you and your children Thelma and her friends learning about dying. May it touch your heart as it did mine. When little girls across the fence had her birthday party, she received a black puppy as a birthday present. Now, Thelma and her friends learn that Puppy died. Distraught and confused, Thelma asked Grandfather, "What is dying?" Grandfather's wise answer comforts the friends and remove any fear they might have had about dying.

Autor

Author, Joyce Crawford grew up in the little southern town of Hawthorne, Florida, in the 1950's. Mrs. Crawford considered it a blessing to have three generations of loving family living nearby. One of her happiest memories was living next door to her Great Uncle Delbert in a sweet little white house with green trim located just across the overpass. She shared, "There I spent many happy hours singing, watching the sky, and talking to God's creations. Mrs. Crawford's personality is a combination of her faith and memories of watching cows, within arm's length, grazing in orange groves just across the back fence; Uncle Delbert's bird dog, Major, who took every opportunity to jump in the back of the pick-up-truck for a road trip; and mocking birds singing in ancient magnolia trees. The sweetest memory of all, was visits to grandma and grandpa's house in the middle of a pecan grove. Ever since the first grade, Mrs. Crawford's dream was to be a teacher. However, because of a reading disability and the fear of failure, Mrs. Crawford realized her dream by teaching children in Sunday School. Years later, when she agreed to author articles for her garden club newspaper, her writing blossomed. Her love of teaching children, and the new-found craft of writing, has helped her realize her dream in a way she never dreamed possible. After her retirement, Ms. Crawford, starting writing stories for children, and Thelma Thistle was born.
