Friendship Quilt

When Raddie's grandmother dies, her friends respond by making her a quilt stitched from shared memories — a concrete, visible act of comfort that young readers can picture and understand. Cecil Kim and illustrator HaJin Jeong handle grief gently without sugarcoating it, and the caregiver notes and story-coaching activities make this a useful tool in a classroom or counseling setting. The MySELF Bookshelf framing is clear about what this book is: a teaching resource, not a freestanding story. That's also the honest caveat — the didactic scaffolding shows, and the narrative feels constructed around a lesson rather than discovered through it. Fully family-safe and genuinely useful for helping children process loss, but more workbook than picture book in spirit.
