Summary
Henry Says Good-Bye is a book in the Good News for Little Hearts series. This story is to help kids when they are sad.
The story is so well done I teared up reading it. I was sad for Henry. It is a beautiful story of a child experiencing loss and having the support of his family and friends. He also learns to help others when they are sad.
This series is designed to provide gospel help and biblical councel to families. The stories are not trying to teach a moral issue, instead they take a child through a real life scenario played out by animals. Then they help the parent and the child with how to rely on God to get through the issue.
The author is a licensed psychologist.
