ALL SHINING IN THE SPRING

Siobhán Parkinson

The Story of a Baby Who Died

The story of a family coping with the loss of a baby by stillbirth.

5-year-old Matthew is looking forward to the new baby. Then there is sad news. The doctor tells Matthew's parents that the baby is not growing properly inside its mother and will not be able to live after it is born.

Written by the author to help her own son cope with the death of their new baby at birth, All Shining in the Spring is a child-centred book. It will help children and families deal with the feelings and questions which the death of a baby raises.

Illustrated by Donald Teskey
