People are Like Balloons

by Simon Pastorello

A Book for Helping Children Understand Death and Process Loss

When her grandad dies, Julia has some big questions: Where is he now? Did he just disappear? Will I see him again? Why does it hurt?

People Are Like Balloons gives children and parents a gentle, biblically-rooted way to process death, and talk about grief and loss, anchored in the hope of eternity.
