Hope Comes to Stay

In Hope Comes to Stay, Clarissa Moll writes about loss and the ones we love.

Written for young children ages 4–6, this picture book tells the story of Lela and the death of her Papa. She experiences different seasons of grief but also learns to find hope and joy amidst the sadness.

Honest and Beautiful

This is an honest and beautiful book. Moll writes with compassion and gentleness—tender and caring in every word. The illustrations by Gretchen Ellen Powers are soft and moving, bringing warmth to the story.

This book will help parents of young children talk about death and dying, while also offering an opportunity to share about God’s mercies and life in Christ.
