Inspired by a family’s story of loss, And Then There Was One is about a little boy’s determination to help others and keep his little sister’s spirit alive while coping with his grief. The main character, CJ, finds purpose and his strengths and greatness through small acts of kindness.

 

Complete with fun exercises, journal activities and a coloring page, this book aims to empower young readers with tools to help them discover new ways to handle challenging situations. And Then There Was One is designed to help children cope with loss and grief, realize the power within themselves, and encourage them to give to others.

 

Grab your copy to use as a resource to help a child in your life learn how to process this difficult conversation.
