Product Description
A pet . . . a friend . . . or a relative dies, and it must be explained to a child. This sensitive book is a useful tool in explaining to children that death is a part of life and that, eventually, all living things reach the end of their own special lifetimes.

Very helpful and grateful for a book out there like this... October 29, 2008
Good book for explaining death to a young child. No religious views or overtones are used, the book is an excellent tool that simplifies the cycle of life.

Perfect July 9, 2008
My Grandmother died on May 27th and since then my son who is just shy of 4 has been asking so many questions. We've always used books as a tool for our discussions to help us explain things to him. I bought several books and even though they were good, this book was just the perfect fit for a 4 year old. It's matter of fact, simple to understand- no hidden meanings or euphemisms. Now when he asks why a bug died we can say, "That was HIS lifetime" or when he gets upset and asks when our cat is going to die we can say, "He's still living in-between" and he just gets it. I run an assisted living facility and am ordering it for my resource library so that the resident's families can borrow it if necessary.

This is a really great book to get for children and to read to children. It explains life from birth to death on a level kids can relate to. When you are at a loss for words trying to figure out how to make a child understand, you need to read this book .
