This book approaches the difficult subject of grief with sensitivity and sound judgement. The perfect story for children who have lost a much-loved figure in their life.
The story begins with a class of young children being told that their teacher, Miss Evans, is ill. The class, who obviously love and miss their young and positive teacher, exchange drawings, cards and letters with her. She visits them at school (one illustration shows her in a wheelchair wearing a headscarf covering her bald head). As Miss Evans’ illness progresses, her visits dwindle, but the written correspondence continues. One sad day, Mr Banks tells the class that Miss Evans has died, and he sensitively comforts them by encouraging them to talk about how they are feeling and their memories of her. The happy times they spent with Miss Evans, and the many things she taught them to do are written down and attached to a beautiful tree made of copper wire. Miss Evan’s positivity, talents and love live on in the hearts of her young class.
