What parents and educators are saying: I highly recommend this book for anyone struggling with how to help their children deal with their grief. The book did a wonderful job of presenting the facts about life and death, as well as explaining, and therefore preparing her for, the funeral and memorial service we attended. There are good questions towards the end that can help to get little ones talking about how they are feeling. This little book was a great and gentle way to introduce death and feelings associated with loss to my almost 4-year-old son. I recommend it.
