Pregnancy Loss Books for Children

Tear Soup is a different sort of book in that it's really about loss in general and not specific to the loss of a baby.  The person grieveing in the book is actually a grandmother who has lost her husband.  Though there are many ways that this book might be helpful to any family who is grieving. This book is geared for school aged children and up.

The text is simple, the illustrations are sweet but realistic about a sad and crying family.  It talks of the boy's desire to have the baby and how he felt as he lived through the death and grief process.  It's very well done. There is a small section in the back on talking to your children and children's grief in general.  This book is recommended for ages 2 and up. Religious references are few, but there is a cross necklace worn by the mother in one small drawing and the obvious reference to angels.  These are easily overlooked if this is not a part of your belief system.
