Book Reviews of Someone Came Before You
Book Review: Grateful this book exists...
Summary: 5 Stars
We bought this book a few weeks before the arrival of our second child. He is only a month old right now but I'm relieved that we purchased it in advance because I cried so much the first time I read it and I know that it will take a lot of practice reads on my part before my husband and I can read it to our living son. I'm sure, however, that no parent would read this to their child/children without reading it first themselves so I'm sure the advice to do some "practice" reads of your own is unnecessary.
I looked so many places for a book for our children that came after the death of our first child and could find only books geared toward children who lost younger siblings. I was grateful to find this one and relieved to see that, when it arrived at our home, it was well-written and seemed near perfect for our situation (given that it is the only book that I've been able to find for us I was afraid it might somehow let us down.)
