Have you ever encountered a subject that warrants a discussion with a child, but struggled with how to do it?
I know that this has happened more than once in our lives.
This could be as easy as how important a pet is in our lives or more difficult like the loss of a family member.
This is exactly what the books from Kayla Jarmon do. They take these types of topics and help you start the discussion through a story.

A Boy and His Dog
Boys never outgrow their love of dogs. In fact, men often turn into boys at heart with them.
This story shows you a day in the life of a young boy and his beloved dog. Together they do all the fun things a young boy and dog can enjoy. From waking up in the morning together, exploring the great outdoors, and ultimately getting clean in the bath, these 2 are inseparable.
Don’t Forget Me (First in the Discussion Book Series)
Don’t Forget Me imagines a conversation between God and the Baby through pregnancy and birth.
This title reminds us that God is the author and giver of life. Don’t Forget Me makes a perfect gift for expectant parents and siblings!
Dying Is Part of This World (Second in the Discussion Book Series)
Death is part of our life cycle. We are all born and we will all die. Yet, people struggle with this topic, whether fear of dying or fear of losing a loved one.
This title has you follow a conversation with a mom and child about the fear of death. Scripture references and discussion questions are present to provoke great conversations and prayer. With God’s knowledge and wisdom, you can overcome the fear of death.
Our Thoughts on the Kayla Jarmon Books
Each of these titles is short enough to read in one sitting.
My youngest son loved reading A Boy and His Dog. It reinforced his deep desire to have a dog, something we are unable to do right now. But, he did delight in seeing all the fun that could be had with one by your side.
With aging grandparents experiencing health issues, the topic of death is on top of my mind. While we do not know the day or hour someone will be called home to God, there are times when you can see that the end will be coming sooner than later.
Don’t just take my word for how we found this to be. Visit Kayla Jarmon post on the Homeschool Review Crew website to see what other homeschooling parents thought about this resource.
