ABOUT THE BOOK, written by GREG ADAMS and illustrated by PAIGE MASON.
Adam Gets Back in the Game helps open conversations with children about death, loss, and how grieving can help them return more fully to living.
For ten-year-old Adam, happiness is being involved in a little of everything, including his favorite thing of all, playing basketball with his best friend Isaiah. But when he falls on a broken bottle, everything must stop for his “big hurt.” Later, all that Adam learned in healing from his injured hand will be put to the test when Isaiah dies suddenly in an accident. Along with Adam, children experiencing the loss of a friend or family member can consider the costs of avoiding their pain and come to understand how grieving can help them more fully return to living.
