ABOUT THE BOOK
EDITORIAL REVIEW
Simple, insightful, and straight from the heart, this book is for any child who has lost a loved one. The author talks directly to kids about what death means and how to cope. He answers questions kids have about death--Why? How? What next? Is it my fault? What's a funeral?--in basic straightforward terms.
USER REVIEWS
"Was a good resource for 8-11 yr old kids upon the death of a loved one."

"My 9 year-old son recently lost his father and he was not talking to me or any family members about his feelings. This book was very thorough for a young person and it helped him to open dialogue with me and start his grieving process. I highly recommend this book. "

"This book provides brief and blunt answers to questions many children may have and adults may not consider - it touches on 'What is a Memorial Service', 'Where does the person go', 'Am I Going To Die Too?', 'Is the Death My Fault' as well as common feelings experienced while grieving. Each topic is brief and written for a child.
As an Adult: At first, this was the only book I could read myself, as most of the other books were too overwhelming. "

"I bought this for my 4 1/2 year old, she has never seen it. I found it too clinical, and not at all what I had imagined having read the other reviews. The cartoons seemed aimed at my daughters age group, yet the writing is in my opinion, not for little ones. I showed this book to my twelve year old niece, thinking maybe the target was more in her age range. Her response was an incredulous "isnt this supposed to make you feel better!?"..."

"I searched through all the books on the amazon website related to helping children face death of a loved one. I read all the reviews, ordered all the books that sounded good. I then read all the books that sounded good and this is my top pick. I gave it to a five year old whose grandmother had died. His father told me that it helped him just as much as his son. I am writing this review, sadly, because I am ordering it again for a teen-age boy whose little brother drowned recently.This book will not turn kids off, it is not corny or sentimental. As a family therapist, I only use the best books available and hope that this recommendation helps someone else."
