Feb 18, 2022clareshawkidsbooksBlog

Today would have been my lovely brother’s 50th birthday. I’m stealing my sister’s words from Facebook today as she put our memories and feelings into words far better than I could have done: “It’s good to remember how lucky we were to have him – his loving, happy nature was the greatest. He really was, […]

What our customers say...

Love Will Never Die

“Such a useful resource, well written and insightful. I feel that the worst thing about death…is that we don’t talk enough about it, and sadly, children’s grief often seems to slip through the net. I will be highly recommending this book to bereaved families.”

A Mind Full of Grief

“Having two teenagers, finding something that talks to them at their level (not a child, not an adult) is very refreshing.”

At Times I Get These Feelings

“An amazing book. Beautifully written and illustrated. My autistic son has barely any emotional understanding and this book is really helping him to learn about emotions. I would highly recommend this book for all children (not just SEN) as it deals with emotions in a gloriously sensitive manner."

Sometimes: My Mummy's Gone Away With Work

“Sometimes is a beautiful book which creates a real feeling of empathy with the child. It reassures service family children about all the emotions they are feeling and provides fun and practical ways to support them through a difficult time. Clare has delivered the perfect balance of tenderness & humour.“ 

Sometimes: My Daddy's Gone Away With Work

"This is the best book for service children in the world. Loved reading it!!” Melissa, aged 10
