Format:Paperback
We have just had a presentation at uni about introducing death to kids and been shown this book. I thought it was brilliant- it covers a wide range of situations from prem babies to accidents and getting old. it explains the difference between being alive and dead. A really useful way of talking to kids about death, not too heavy and even covers the fateful death of the hamster!

Comprehensive, subtle, even humorous, explores many aspects of dying and associated situations. Helps kids ask questions, and parents answer them. A great book for home library!
