Missing May - Chapter Book

Summer
Who is caring, afraid, and insecure
Who is a foster child of Ob and May’s
Who loves being loved, appreciated and trusted
Who feels anxious, troubled, and alone
Who needs comfort, support, and connection
Who gives knowledge, love, and guidance
Who fears abandonment, loss, and separation
Who would like to see a spiritual sign
Who shares her support and love
Who is an orphan that has been passed down from one relative to another
Who is resident in the Appalachian Mountains
Missing May

I would use this book in my class to talk about death and grieving. I think it is important for students to know that it is okay to grieve when they lose a loved one but to also know, life does go on and will go on. I have suffered many losses of my own and I want my students to feel like they have someone to talk to if they ever need someone to listen.
