We Were Gonna Have a Baby But We Had an Angel Instead

While the unexpected death of a baby through miscarriage or stillbirth can dramatically affect parents, younger children will often need special care as they confront their own grief over the loss of a sibling. This new children's book, from the author and illustrator of the award-winning and best-selling book Tear Soup, both directly addresses the issues that children may face over the loss of an unborn child and also gives parents practical and sensitive advice to help their children cope with the death.

Recommended for children ages 2 and older, We Were Gonna Have a Baby, but We Had an Angel Instead maintains the same quality standards set by Tear Soup while addressing an uncomfortable and often undiscussed topic. The practical advice at the end of the book will offer support and guidance to parents and grief ministers alike as they help children handle the stress of a miscarriage or stillbirth.
