Luna’s Red Hat by Emmi Smid

Luna’s mom has died by suicide, and ever since she died, Luna is worried that the rest of her family might leave her, too. On one sunny day, during a picnic in the park where Luna is wearing her mom’s favorite hat, she opens up to her father about how she is feeling. To her surprise, he shares a lot of the same feelings! Even more importantly, Luna is able to learn from her dad that she did not cause her mother’s illness or death, and by learning this, she can begin to focus on remembering the wonderful memories of her mother. Luna’s Red Hat by Emmi Smid is appropriate for children ages six and up.
