Brief Summary: This book isn’t in story format. Instead, it answers basic questions a child may have about death. For example, it talks about what alive means, death, how to say good-bye and other common questions or concerns. Look at the book before using. It is very frank and may bring up more concerns than you want to discuss.
Post reading activity:
This book is a great way to talk about different subjects about death as it comes up. Use it to create discussion opportunities. In the event of a lost one, have the child then make a collage of things about the person who has died. They could put together pictures or cut out things from a magazine that reminds them of the person.
