Big, Hairy and
Kind of Scary
A Monster-Sized Tale of Loss and Love

Children don’t need grief hidden from them. They need it explained with honesty, imagination, and compassion.
They need stories that tell the truth in ways their hearts
can hold. This book does all of that—and beautifully.

Meet the
Monsters



The book opens the door to meaningful conversations between children and the adults who love them, reminding us that grief isn’t something to avoid, but rather something to understand, share, and carry together.
