Simon's story / Glynis Clacherty ; illustrated by Paddy Bouma.

"Use this story for life skills, health or cultural studies lessions, or as a reader in the English class. The following key concepts are dealth with: grief brings overwhelming feelings; it is all right to have these feelings; adults can help children by acknowledging these feelings; when you are suffering grief, it helps to let your feelings out and cry; it is important to have memories of people who have died and to go back to them; it takes time, but the sadness does get better eventually; it is all right to have fun even when you are grieving. Young adults are more vulnerable to HIV/AIDS than anyone else. We should encourage children to develop self-respect and respect for others from an early age."--From reverse of front cover.
