by Nina Mkhoiani (Illustrator), Joanna P. a. Moore (Author)

Alana, a young mermaid, is struggling to accept that her loving grandmother will soon die. At first, she's confused by what's happening and overwhelmed by her feelings. But with the help of her family, she finds a way to come to terms with her emotions.

When facing her grandmother's death, Alana experiences many conflicting emotions: confusion, anger, sadness, and even guilt. She's not really sure what death means and needs some guidance on how to sort through, process, and reflect on how she's feeling.

Alana's journey is told in verse and accompanied by beautiful illustrations. Parents and guardians can use this book as a tool to support their child and create a safe space for them to talk about their feelings.

Love is the Gift is a heartfelt, poetic, and well-illustrated story aimed to help children aged 6 to 11 understand and cope with bereavement.
