The Goblin and the Empty Chair by Mem Fox and illustrated by Leo and Diane Dillon

I happened to come across this book while perusing the shelves in the children’s room, and the story and the beautiful illustrations really touched my heart. A lonely goblin decides to hide his face because he thinks it is so hideous and doesn’t want to the world to see him. But one day, he sees a grieving family struggling with their day-to-day lives, and, decides to help them, but under the cover of night. But what he doesn’t know is that the family notices his kind acts and wants to help him in return. This touching story about acceptance, love, and family will touch everyone’s heart and would be an excellent tool in conversations about grief and loss.
