Another good grief book

This is on our recommended list, too -- a good way to explain loss to children. Again, I am nonplussed by the prices listed by various booksellers. Is this a scam? This book is still in print and available in paperback for $12.00 to $14.00 new.

A book about life that helps explain death

What is great about this book and something I didn't realize at the time was that lifetimes didn't have to only related to death of people. EVERYTHING has a lifetime...

Lifetimes; A beautiful way to explain death to children

This book is a "life cycles" book. In a simple, matter of fact approach you are taken through the life cycles of different creatures - starting with smaller creatures and working up to more complex animals including humans. The presentation style is geared for children and their perspectives. The story covers death through illness or injury as well. A wonderful way to introduce life and death issues to children who...
