Ted-D's Happy, Sad, Birthday, Day

When Ted-D’s daddy wants to take Ted-D and Momma to the park to play on Ted-D’s birthday, Ted-D doesn’t want to go. Why? Because this is the first time ever that Ted-D will be celebrating his birthday without Grandma and Grandpa. With a little talk from his friend, Alec-the-Cat, Ted-D tries his best at being a “big boy” and goes to the park with his parents.

At the park, Ted-D begins to understand that when we lose someone we love, either through death or other happenings, that they truly aren’t gone from us. They still live on through our memories and celebrations.

Join Ted-D on his sad, happy, birthday, day as he travels from the park to the cemetery learning that there are no boundaries on love.



Written in a fashion that allows the child to know it is OK to hurt, cry, and miss someone we love. This book allows open ended questions between the child and the adult. In turn, the adult can share with the child, their own beliefs of death.
