I Hate Strawberry Jam was written by Judith in 1996, to assist the classmates of an eight year old who died suddenly. In Strawberry Jam, a child tells the story of a best friend's death and the resulting feelings of sadness and loss. With the loving support of parents, teachers, and a very special grandmother, the storyteller learns about diverse funeral rights and rituals and leads the reader on a journey through grief to eventual healing.

The book spans a period of 18 months, the average length of time for intense grief. It is stressed throughout the book that sadness, loneliness, and missing someone who is dead, are normal, healthy feelings.

The book also includes a multicultural aspect in order to show children that ALL people, no matter what race, religion or culture, grieve when they lose a loved one.

You can purchase copies of this book right now for $14.95 plus $2 shipping using your Visa or Mastercard!
