Product Description:

Rating:  - Perfect
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.

Rating: - Lifetimes
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 .

After introducing the subject of death with "Remember the Butterflies," I answered my daughter's question, "What does 'die' mean?" with this book. Unlike the other books we read to process her grandfather's death, she never wanted this one again, but it was very useful for answering that question. Its repeated message that everything alive dies, I think, gently but firmly leads to acceptance of this sad truth.
