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.

5 out of 5 stars 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.


5 out of 5 stars 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 .
