The Perfect Shelter

A powerfully told story from Clare Helen Welsh and �sa Gilland that explores the emotions we feel when someone we love is battling a serious illness.
At first, nobody knew. It seemed as if today would be like yesterday forever, the perfect day to build a shelter in the woods. Then, my sister changed _ she was more tired than before. More quiet. When we learn that she is sick, really sick, it feels as though a storm has engulfed our whole family. But, we will ride out this storm. And though today may be different from yesterday, today is the perfect day to build a shelter, together.
A heartwarming book that sensitively tackles the tough subject of illness with authentic and empathetic tenderness. Much like_Michael Rosen�s Sad Book,_A Shelter for Sadness_or_The Building Boy,_The Perfect Shelter_offers children a way to understand and articulate complex, often overwhelming, emotions.
