Library Revolution > The List :)
To Bereaved Parents: This project depends on all of us -- we are interested in the books you found to be "most helpful" during grief. So please email us with your suggestions! We'll add them to the list, review them, pass them on to librarians everywhere. To Librarians: The second phase of our Library Revolution is to get review copies of books from authors & publishers. We review the books here, and then we donate those review copies of the books to libraries through KotaPress contacts. If you are interested in being a recipient library, please contact our us. Please Note: Links offered in the book list open to new windows containing a previously published KotaPress review of the book OR link out to publisher/author websites!!
