Selah's New Shell : A Gentle Book About Life and Loss
Overview
How do you explain death to a child? This gentle, rhyming Christian picture book uses a hermit crab's story to share the hope of heaven.
Selah the hermit crab lives happily on a white sandy beach, until the day her shell no longer fits. She sets out on a mission to find a new shell, one more beautiful than her little eyes can believe, and leaves her old one behind. Her friends are left with an empty shell and heavy hearts, until a wise old hermit crab helps them understand that Selah is not lost. She has simply moved on to something better.
Selah's New Shell: A Gentle Book About Life and Loss gives parents, grandparents, and teachers a tender, Bible-based way to talk with young children about death, grief, and the Christian hope of the resurrection. The name Selah, thought to mean a pause in the Psalms, reminds families that death is a pause, not the end of the song.
Inside this picture book you will find:
Whether a child is grieving a grandparent, a parent, a sibling, or a friend, Selah's New Shell opens the door to honest conversations about sadness, comfort, and the hope we have in Jesus. It makes a thoughtful sympathy gift for grieving families and a valuable resource for Sunday school classrooms, children's ministries, Christian schools, church libraries, and hospice and grief counselors.
