Very well written explanation of death and grief. Mentions different religions but not from a religious point of view.

Wow! I wish I had had this book when I was younger. Even though I had loving adults in my life who helped me through losing all of my grandparents in a year's time, it would have been powerful to see these words written in a book. I believe even the middle school students whom I serve would greatly benefit from this updated version.

Απλό και κατανοητό! Αξίζει να το διαβάσουν όλα τα παιδιά. Βιβλία σαν κι αυτά λένε αυτά που δε λέγονται συχνά και βοηθάνε σε καταστάσεις απώλειας ή πένθους..

Excellent book for kids 7 - 12 who need to understand death and dying and all the feelings they have when this occurs. I highly recommend this.
