Alien Feelings, Books 1-12

Grieving children often experience a wide range of feelings, and it can be important to explore these to help them understand that this is normal. Alien Feelings is our series of 12 story books following Max and Molly who have learned that someone close to them has died. In each book they are visited by a different feeling which impacts them both in different ways. 

These books cover 12 feelings common in grieving children: shock, confusion, sadness, anger, denial, numbness, fear, jealousy, worry, relief, happiness and hope. Grief is in no way the same for every child and is not a straight journey, so it’s normal if they experience some and not all of the emotions covered in this series. They can also be felt in any order and may come and go. 

You’ll also get a separate adult’s guide for each book with activities and information to support you with the conversations that may arise from the books. 

The books, along with the activities in the accompanying adult guide, can help to form part of a toolkit which can aid children in understanding their grief and starting to develop their own ways to navigate it. 

Aimed at children up to the age of 8 years old.

You can also purchase individual e-books for £5 each.
