SiMBA recently celebrated the inclusion of our My Little Star book written by Mark Sperring and illustrated by Nicola O’Byrne in our Memory Boxes. This very special book was chosen from a selection of books in consultation with a group of bereaved parents and was launched at the Scottish Storytelling Centre and Scottish Parliament on the 20th and 21st November respectively.
On the back of the book there is a special message that reads:
“You can use this book in any way that provides comfort to you. You may want to read it to your baby, while you are together, or read it later, at a time that feels right for you. You can read it alone, or with loved ones so you can share this connection with your baby.”
We have worked in partnership with the Scottish Book Trust, Book Trust and Bloomsbury Publishing to create a specially adapted version of this beautiful book so that it fits perfectly into our Medium and Large Memory Boxes. This version of the book is not on general sale but we want to make this version of the book available to anyone who has been affected by the loss of a baby.
SiMBA is here to support anyone affected by the loss of a baby at any stage during pregnancy or after birth. Our support services are listed here: https://www.simbacharity.org.uk/support/
