The Paper Dolls

By   Julia Donaldson

Age Group: 3 - 6 Years

Description: A gentle and poignant book about grief and loss, though it approaches the topic through imagination and memory rather than direct depiction of death. The story follows a little girl who makes a string of paper dolls with her mother. The dolls go on playful adventures but are eventually cut into pieces by a boy with scissors. However, the dolls live on in the girl’s memory, symbolizing how loved ones and cherished moments remain with us even after they’re gone. This makes the book a thoughtful way to introduce young children to the concept of loss and remembrance.
