About This Book
A parent would reach for this book when a child is struggling to verbalize the heavy, confusing emotions that follow the death of a family member or friend. While many books on grief focus on the clinical or logistical aspects of death, Megan's Dance focuses on the physical and emotional release found through creative movement. It validates that grief isn't just a thought, it is something felt in the whole body. The story follows Megan as she navigates her world after a significant loss, eventually finding that her passion for dance allows her to process her sadness and maintain a connection to the person she lost. Targeted at children aged 3 to 7, this book is an excellent choice for families who want to encourage healthy emotional expression through art and play. It provides a gentle framework for understanding that while sadness is a heavy weight, we can find ways to carry it and eventually rediscover joy.
