Clara by Christophe Lemoine
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Clara is a heart-rending story about a little girl who lost her mother because of illness. Before her mother passed away, she gave her daughter Clara the doll she used to own when she was still a kid. Death is not an easy topic to discuss with children like Clara, but because of her dad and grandma's patience to explain to her what happened, she was able to understand about her mother's death.
Kids in Clara's age has a vivid imagination, so maybe it is her wild imagination that the doll talks or it is really true that have the ability to talk. Nevertheless, that doll that was also named Clara by her mother helped her cope up with on her mourning.
Clara is a great graphic novel that could be used by parents or teachers to educate children about the concept of death and how to deal with it.
