A propos du livre

Biographie de l'auteur

Elke Barber's life changed in April 2009 when her husband Martin suffered a fatal heart attack. Aged only 34, she found herself a young widow and a single mum to two kids under four. A self-employed graphic designer and long-time lover of children's books, she decided to share their story to help others in similar situations. Using the conversations she had with her then three-year old son, together they wrote Is Daddy Coming Back in a Minute? and What Happened to Daddy's Body? - both published by Jessica Kingsley Publishers. She is now happily remarried, a mum and step mum to seven children, soulmate to John and a public speaker who is passionate about improving the bereavement support for young children.

He misses him every day, and will never stop missing him. He loves Doctor Who and his favourite hobby is football. He helped his mum Elke write Is Daddy Coming Back in a Minute? and What Happened to Daddy's Body? by asking the many direct and difficult questions only a young child can ask. He calls his mum's new husband 'Dad' (not 'Daddy'!), and says he is lucky because he has two dads, only one of them can't be here.

Revue de presse

Told sensitively, responding to Alex's questions from the personal experience of his daddy dying, this beautifully illustrated book explains cremation and burial clearly in age-appropriate language. It will help adults explain to young children what happens to the body after someone dies. I highly recommend it to individuals and professionals. --Dawn Hewitt, CEO, CHUMS Child Bereavement, Trauma and Emotional Wellbeing Service

This book will be a great resource for anyone wanting to answer a child's questions after a death, but who is having difficulty finding age-appropriate words. Elke writes from personal experience of talking with her own children and the openness of her approach comes through very clearly. --Helen Mackinnon, Director of SeeSaw, Grief Support for Children and Young People in Oxfordshire

Elke has once again captured what is needed for aiding bereaved children's understanding. Sensitive, caring and developmentally appropriate, this book is a fantastic resource for explaining what happens to a person's body after death. I'm sure it will help countless children and their caregivers with some of the most difficult questions. --Donna Hastings, Senior Bereavement Support Worker, Richmond's Hope
