While my Dad was dying I was very upset and I felt like I was the only child it had happened to. Mummy said other children had lost their mummy or daddy. So I thought, how can I help other children if they are losing some one they love very much and they can't meet other children like me. So I wrote this book so other children could see I was out there going through the same thing.

I decided I wanted to help them and I thought of things I found difficult like going to sleep and getting emotions out. I then wrote down things that helped me and activities I did with my mummy to express myself like the happy feelings cake.

Although I still get sad and often think of daddy in heaven having a lovely time, it has got easier as time has gone by and whenever I feel sad I know it is important to speak and cry about my feelings.

I hope this helps other children get through the same thing and let them know they are not the only one.
