Silly Pickles opens our hearts to learning about acceptance of challenging childhood topics such as special needs, degenerative diseases, and even loss of a loved one. These in turn can result in a lifetime of cherishing fond memories, being a part of a community, and sharing in a Christian bond that outlasts the immediate moments of grief. They allow us to find moments of peace in our tears.

Mourning Dove touches on one of the most difficult topics that families face - talking with children about the death of those close to us. The book reminds us that even when we think children are coping well, they are full of questions, anxiety, and the need for an adult to help them to navigate this confusing time.
