The Grief Jar

The Grief Jar Synopsis

The Grief Jar is a heart warming book for children about a little bear's journey with grief - of human nature and the kindness of friends. The story begins with Bear sitting in a room alone with a big heavy jar filled with feelings that he can't move by himself. His friends want him to come out and play but they can see that he's sad and don't know what to do. Each animal friend comes in to see if they can help, and one by one ask him about his Daddy. As Bear shares stories about his Daddy, he begins to feel he may be able to lift the jar if he can get a little help from his friends. They begin to assist him in carrying his jar, coming up with practical ways to make it easier to carry whilst sharing memories of his Daddy.
