This is one of those posts that we all wish we didn't need, but unfortunately, in the United States, this post is an important one. Book Riot has put together a short list of children's books to help adults talk with kids about school shootings.

You can find the list of Book Riot's suggested titles here.

In a list from Doing Good Together, the focus is on healing after tragedy. They found books that remind kids that, "they are not alone and that caring communities exist even in the wake of tragedy." 

View their list here.

Do you have any suggestions to add?
