A Garden of Creatures
by Sheila Heti
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
A gem of a book about dying and where we go upon death. This lovely Canadian children’s book has gorgeous illustrations that feel calming. While sometimes sad they are overall loving in the end.
An amazing book to gift any child (or even adult) who has experienced loss recently and is having trouble coping. Or, I would suggest, as a way to prepare children for the idea of death.
I really wish our society was more open about death and my hope is that this lovely gem of a story can help.
Please note: I received an eARC of this book from the publisher via NetGalley. This is an honest and unbiased review.

Sounds lovely. I really like the coverart with the muted colours and (still) pretty flowers.
