Jesus still loves Joe – about a child whose sister has died

This story explores a young child’s experience of being a bereaved sibling and how important it is for such children to know that God loves them no matter how they feel.

The book is part of the Held in Hope series, a series of sensitively written and stunningly illustrated stories about young children’s experience of being ill or facing death, and how they relate their Christian faith to their experiences.

The books include helpful notes for parents, including questions and activities to use with young children and information of other resources and organisations. Other stories in the Held in Hope series include: Maya Goes to Hospital, Josh Stays in Hospital, and Sam and his Special Book.

Each story is also available as a free online film with the story read by Bear Grylls, available at here. Bespoke training for Christians working with children is also available on various related topics.

Co-authored by Victoria Beech and the Pediatric Chaplaincy Network, it is part of the Held in Hope series, a series developed with the Paediatric Chaplaincy Network in order to provide sensitively written and stunningly illustrated stories about young children’s experience of illness or facing death, and how they relate their Christian faith to their experiences.
