Beskrivning

Arlo visited Nana every Sunday, and she would always have new sweets waiting for him inside a special jar. So when Arlo finds out Nana has passed away, he keeps the jar with him to feel safe and closer to his Nana. But as his sadness turns to anger, a storm builds inside the jar, until Arlo has enough and smashes it open! What will happen when the storm rushes out? A story that encourages children to talk about bereavement and anger, and explore ways to manage, embrace, and safely release them. It also includes a science experiment, and a guide to make a 'glitter jar' to help with anger. AGES: 3 to 5 AUTHOR: Samuel Langley-Swain is an adoptive dad and author, and the founder of Owlet Press a publishing house that produces picture books by authors and illustrators who, like Samuel, want to create positive change for children.

Mer om författaren

The story is written by adoptive dad Samuel Langley-Swain, founder of Owlet Press, and was inspired by his children's experiences. "When my son used the 'storm in a jar' metaphor as a very clear way to describe how his anger and frustration were building inside him, I knew instantly this would be a great visual story," Sam says, "I think a lot of books that work around loss (or bereavement) portray abstract ways to describe the loss itself and don't address the emotional aftermath - to me this is the most important bit!

Recensioner i media

"Stunning storytelling gently takes us on Arlo's emotional and heartfelt journey through loss and out the other side to happier days. You can feel the amount of care and tenderness that has gone into each page, making this such a positive and accessible picture book to add to any children's bookshelf. Especially, in preparation for and times of loss. The thoughtful wording and warm, relatable illustrations help children to see that these types of big feelings are normal and OK to have. With emphasis on the importance of not bottling up feelings as this can cause them to grow. Its ending is heart-warming and positive; supporting the idea of being able to remember loved ones that are no longer with us in a happy way." - 3LittleButtons blog ; "Understanding what it means to us when someone dies can be hard for adults as well as children and I think this book will provide a gentle way into those difficult but necessary discussions that we need as we process what's happened. The illustrations are wonderful, working with the story to create a safe space to open up about overwhelming emotions and how to deal with them. 'Storm in a Jar' is a beautiful book that talks tenderly to children as they journey through their grief towards the light and hope that life still holds." - Loll Kirby, author of 'Old Enough to Save The Planet' (Magic Cat) ; "An honest and very much needed book about grief, loss, light and love." - @inclusive_childrens_books on Instagram ; "A great book for prompting important conversations about difficult emotions, and one that will certainly help many children understand their own feelings when dealing with loss" - @tillyscrump3 on Instagram ; "I've been looking for the right book to help my younger children with the mixture of emotions faced with our grief. A book to cover the anger, the confusion, the questions and encourage honest & open discussions...finally I've found the perfect one" - @ramblingsandrainbows on Instagram
