Toni Watson
Supporting children through literature after the loss of their sibling
The Butterflybubz Collection
It can be difficult to find the right words or know where to start to support grieving children, especially when you may be grieving so heavily yourself after the miscarriage, stillbirth, neonatal or infant loss of your baby. Perhaps you work with children and are looking for picture books to support the grieving child through the loss of their sibling.
Literature is well known to be a powerful tool and springboard for education and healing. Toni's seven babies in heaven and her miracle earth daughter, are the inspiration behind this collection. Toni hopes that you and your child will find comfort in sharing beautiful moments together talking about, remembering and honouring a very special baby who will always be a part of your lives.
The Butterflybubz Collection was developed for grieving children:
to reinforce their sibling will always be a part of their family
to encourage them to talk about their feelings
to offer simple, honest and clear language surrounding loss
to offer coping strategies
to provide suggestions on how they can remember and honour their sibling
The Butterflybubz Collection was developed for parents:
to introduce and open a dialogue with your child
to encourage your child to share their thoughts and feelings
to gauge your child's understanding of their loss
to answer any questions your child may have
to provide memory creating ideas
to support you and your child gently through your time of loss
The Butterflybubz Collection includes:
"I Have a Baby Sister In Heaven"
