When a close friend or family member dies, it can be difficult for children to express their feelings. This book helps boys and girls understand that death is a natural complement to life, and that grief and a sense of loss are normal feelings for them to have following a loved one's death. Titles in this sensitively presented series explore the dynamics of various relationships experienced by children of preschool through early school age. Kids are encouraged to understand personal feelings and social problems as a first step in dealing with them. Written by psychotherapist and counselor Pat Thomas, these books promote positive interaction among children, parents, and teachers. The story lines are simple and direct--easily accessible to younger children. There are full-color illustrations on every page.

Great for young children I ordered this for my 4 year-old when her great grandfather passed away. 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. In the time leading up to the memorial my little one asked to bed read this book every night before bed, I honestly think it prepared her in a way I could not. I ordered a few books for her about death, or that claimed to be. This by far was the best. The others beat around the bush or used the death of a pet to explain it, but this book presented all the information in a thourough yet age appropriate manner.Fabulously straight forward This book is very straight forward. It doesn't beat around the bush, but rather, explains what happens when someone dies in terms a 3 y.o. can understand. It was not overtly religious or spiritual, but would not contradict most religious beliefs. For example, it doesn't mention a soul, but it does talk about how the body and the spirit of a person are different. My daughter read this the day her grandfather died, and I think she got it.Perfect book for helping small children with their grief. I bought this book to help my four year old daughter deal with the future grief of losing my father. It is such a difficult topic because at this age children are still not fully capable of understanding the permanency of death. She still has trouble understanding that he will never come back. However, she frequently asks to read this book at times when she is really missing him and wants to talk about it. This book has good questions towards the end that can help to get little ones talking about how they are feeling. In one particularly touching moment, the questions led to a good discussion where she told me that she thinks about him often and realizes that he lives on in her, just like in the Lion King.I highly recommend this book for anyone struggling with how to help their children deal with their grief. Warning, you will probably need tissues as you read through the book, but it is a good way to get both of you talking about your feelings at a very difficult time.
