Death. Disabilities. Peer acceptance. Cultural differences. Adoption. Sibling rivalry... These are some of the unfortunate realities and personal challenges that children experience and must deal with on a daily basis. Library media specialists are frequently asked to suggest books teachers can use to give children insight into significant life events, such as the death of a family member. This article suggests "Teaching with Books that Heal: Authentic Literature and Literacy Strategies to Help Children Cope with Everyday Problems" (Linworth, 2007) as a book that provides stimulating, pedagogically sound, standards-based lessons for collaboration between elementary librarians and teachers that could be used to smooth troubled classroom relations and events. The article presents a sample lesson from one of the book's chapters on death of a family member. In addition to this book, the article presents an annotated bibliography that address students' concerns in the areas of bullying, peer acceptance, accepting differences, and death of a family member.
