The Heart Stone Helen O'Leary

Danielle is used to her Daddy not being there. Sort of. Weekends: sometimes he turns up, sometimes he doesn't. So when he dies suddenly and she realises that she's never, ever going to see him again why does she feel so lost? And how come nobody notices? This is a book for all young people who struggle with grief and for those who care for them- parents, teachers, therapists and friends. Told from a child's point of view The Heart Stone gives a unique insight into the mind of a grieving child, a grief often unseen and misunderstood by the adults in her world. Ultimately, it is a story of hope and the power of being listened to by a caring adult.
