Bedtime story

Hooper, Chloe, 1973-2022
Books
When Chloe Hooper's partner is diagnosed with a rare and aggressive cancer, they have to find a way to tell their two young sons. Can the news be broken as a bedtime tale? What practical lessons does children's literature - with its innocent orphans and evil adults, magic, monsters and anthropomorphic animals - teach about grief and resilience in real life? As Hooper discovers, 'the right words are an incantation, a spell of hope for the future.'
