5.0 out of 5 stars Great book to help kids cope with death.
This book is an amazing resource that addresses death in a very real way. It focuses on the feelings that death brings and it also addresses some ways that one can cope with those feelings in a healthy way. I read it with my 7 year old and he was very engaged. It opened up the door to some great conversation in a non-threatening way.
