Description - My Uncle Keith Died by Carol Ann Loehr
In the United States suicide is the third leading cause of death for those between the ages of 10 and 24 and the second leading cause of death for American college students. The children's book, "My Uncle Keith Died" describes the symptoms of depression. It also helps children understand why a depressed person may not seek help. By reading Cody's questions and his mother's answers about his uncle's death, young readers will learn what to do if someone they know shows signs of depression. Early detection, intervention, and treatment for depression are critical for preventing suicides. Included is a discussion guide written by Julianne Cosentino, which will help parents and professionals deal with the type of questions children are likely to ask when their lives have been touched by suicide.
