A Book About Losing Your Bunny: Helping children of all ages to talk, ask questions, and better understand loss - Paperback

by Joshua Cohen (Illustrator), Joshua Cohen (Author)

This book isn't really about bunnies. (Although it certainly doesn't exclude them.) It's about fathers, mothers, sisters, brothers, grandmas, grandpas, pets and everything else on the planet that eventually dies. Bunnies happen to be cute to look at and are easier to draw than trying to draw everything on the planet. You can substitute whatever person or animal is appropriate in place of the word "bunny", if you prefer.

A Book About Losing Your Bunny was reviewed and given high praise by child bereavement counselors for its ability to address key concepts that many children struggle with during a loss. It focuses on reinforcing positive aspects of the relationship and dispelling common myths/fears. It avoids any talk of the physical process of death as well as avoiding any religious discussion.

This book won't make losing your bunny any easier. Losing any bunny can be one of the most difficult things that happens in a life. Hopefully, however, this book might make it easier to talk about difficult things when your bunny does die. Sometimes, talking about these difficult things can help to better understand grief and keep moving forward.
