Using Books to Deal With Tragedy

In a world where it seems at times that there is more tragedy than good, people sometimes turn to books for comfort and understanding.  A recent article from Galleycat highlights books and online resources to help families explain tragedy to children.  Another article from The Guardian’s Helen Humphreys lists her top ten books on grieving and how each book can relate to different types of grief experiences.   Perhaps, having the right book at a very wrong time is just what is needed to make things a little bit easier.
