In America, we have a tough time speaking about death and dying. This experience is inescapable for all of us, yet we don't often have the tools or the words to speak about this universal reality that we all must endure. "The Boy in Black Suit" brings up these issues of loss and grief in an approachable way for students. We read Matt's thoughts as he copes with the death of his mother and we see how those around him treat him as a result.
The public school classroom is a place to reconstruct how we handle death and grief as a society. How do we honor our lost ones? How do we support each other in loss? How do we get better at speaking about these experiences? These questions will be at the heart of our study and this book will be a foundation from which we explore these issues.
