This book helps boys and girls understand that death is a natural complement to life, and that grief and a sense of loss are normal feelings for them to have following a loved one's death. Titles in this sensitively presented series explore the dynamics of various relationships experienced by children of preschool through early school age.

Written by psychotherapist and counselor Pat Thomas, these books promote positive interaction among children, parents, and teachers.
