<p dir="ltr"><i>The Way Home</i> was created to gently support children who have experienced traumatic loss, offering comfort and clarity through storytelling. This book aims to validate children’s emotional experiences, open safe conversations, and help caring adults respond to children’s questions with compassion and honesty. It is recommended to read this book together and allow time for questions or quiet reflection. Children’s understanding of loss changes as they grow, so revisiting this story may help in different ways over time.</p>
