4.0 out of 5 stars Ghost Wings, 6 Jan 2003
By A Customer
I would recommend this book to anyone who has young children and finds it difficult to discuss dying and death with them.

Through the story of a little girl and her grandmother, the books deals with the hard facts about the permanence of death (which many children find hard to grasp), but also that the memories (particularly the smells) of our loved ones continously remind us of them and in a way bring them back to life.

As it is set in South America it also discusses the Day of the Dead, and the more open way that different societies deal with dying.

This may give the impression that this book is gloomy - it is anything but. The illustrations are quite beautiful, and the relationship between the girl and her grandmother is wonderfully described.

The book works on so may different levels. It should be in every child's bookcase.
