Adiós: una primera conversación sobre el duelo (Goodbye: A First Conversation about Grief Spanish Edition)

Illustrated by Isabel Roxas
Translated by Isabel Mendoza
¡Este innovador título de la colección Primeras conversaciones está ahora disponible en español! Esta colección de libros está fundamentada en investigaciones que demuestran que desde la primera infancia se debe hablar con los niños sobre temas importantes, como la raza, el género y la muerte. Perfecta para leer en voz alta, le ofrece a los adultos la oportunidad de iniciar esas importantes conversaciones con los más pequeños de una manera informada, segura y sustentada.

Este libro temático, desarrollado por expertas en los campos de la primera infancia y el activismo contra la injusticia, ofrece un lenguaje concreto y claro e imágenes impactantes para presentar el concepto del duelo. El objetivo de este libro es normalizar el tema de la muerte a través de una conversación sobre su significado y lo que se siente cuando se experimenta una pérdida. Se enfoca en varias de las preguntas que surgen sobre el duelo y en las maneras honestas y sencillas de responderlas.

Los niños pequeños son ávidos observadores de su mundo y hacen muchas preguntas sobre lo que ven, pero los adultos con frecuencia evitan o posponen las conversaciones sobre temas complicados porque les cuesta mucho saber por dónde comenzar. Las investigaciones demuestran que hablar sobre asuntos difíciles a partir de los dos años de vida no solo les ayuda a los niños a comprender lo que ven, sino que también aumenta su conciencia de sí mismos y su autoestima, y les permite reconocer y confrontar las cosas que son injustas, como la discriminación y los prejuicios.

Estos libros tienen un enfoque de apoyo que toma en cuenta tanto al niño como al adulto. Unas ilustraciones deslumbrantes acompañan el texto sencillo e interactivo, y en las páginas finales se ofrecen recursos e ideas adicionales para ampliar la conversación.

This groundbreaking title in the First Conversations series is now available in Spanish! Based on the research that race, gender, death, and other important topics should be discussed with toddlers on up, this read-aloud series offers adults the opportunity to begin important conversations with young children in an informed, safe, and supported way.

Developed by experts in the fields of early childhood and activism against injustice, this topic-driven board book offers clear, concrete language and compelling imagery to introduce the concept of grief. This book aims to normalize the topic of death by discussing what it means and how it feels to experience loss. It centers around several questions that arise about grief and honest, simple ways to answer them.

While young children are avid observers and questioners of their world, adults often shut down or postpone conversations on complicated topics because it's hard to know where to begin. Research shows that talking about tough issues from the age of two not only helps children understand what they see, but also increases self-awareness and self-esteem, and allows them to recognize and confront things that are unfair, like discrimination and prejudice.

These books offer a supportive approach that considers both the child and the adult. Stunning art accompanies the simple and interactive text, and the backmatter offers additional resources and ideas for extending this discussion.
