BookTrib blurb: Sometimes children ask questions that aren’t so easy to answer. When it comes to the harder topics of discussion – for example, what happens after people die – it can be tempting to try to shield them from these difficult conversations. But children need to learn how to handle complex emotions like grief, and Robert M. Moores’ debut novel The Shoebox gives them the tools to understand what they’re feeling.
