Darlene Moore, a retired educator of over thirty years, has completed her new book, “Grandpa’s Bush”: a captivating story of a young boy who, through caring for his grandfather’s bush, learns a valuable lesson about the cycle of life and death.
Author Darlene Moore has worked with young children for over thirty years in public and private school classrooms. Loving how young children think and reason has made her communication with them a wonderful and rewarding experience. Now retired from teaching, she spends time sharing God’s comfort, peace, and promise through recordings of hymns played on the piano and organ.
“A little boy named Matthew watches his grandpa dig a hole and plant a bush,” writes Darlene. “Through Matthew’s questions and Grandpa’s explanations, Matthew learns about the bush’s needs for growing and the effect of the changing seasons on the bush. Grandpa becomes ill and dies. Comparisons of Grandpa’s death and the season changes help Matthew understand Grandpa’s ‘going away’.”
Published by Covenant Books of Murrells Inlet, South Carolina, Darlene Moore’s new book is designed to help introduce young readers to the topic of death, providing a comforting and sensitive look at how death is much like the changing seasons. With colorful artwork to help bring Darlene’s story to life, “Grandpa’s Bush” promises to be a vital tool for parents and guardians alike looking to help young readers understand death.
