Praise |
|
"The author handles the topic with skill and sensitivity. . . . While the subject matter is indeed serious and the tone, for the most part, somber, children who have experienced the loss of a classmate of friend will find hope in this honest presentation."--School Library Journal (December 2005)
|
Stinky Stern Forever has been chosen as one of School Library Journal's Best Books 2005: "A deft handling of a difficult subject, enhanced with crisp black-and-white drawings." (November 10, 2005)
|
*"This is a thoughtful book, a useful book, and a very well-handled depiction of death for young people." -The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books (December 2005, starred review)
