The Big Red Chair

The Big Red Chair is a wonderful story that centers around a big red chair that didn't start out to be so loved. When Afi (Icelandic for Grandpa) gets sick and goes to heaven, the grandchildren still remember Afi and the love and laughter they shared with him, by still using his Big Red Chair. Grief can be disabling for the strongest of us. For children, grief can be difficult because they don't have the life experience, mental or emotional growth to comprehend what's happened.
If you have a child that is dealing with grief over the loss of someone important in their lives, The Big Red chair is a great stepping stone to helping them adjust in a story format that they can identify with. Understanding that we need to hold on to the happy memories, so we can still feel that love, is an important part of the grieving process. This book will help your child learn to do just that.
