An educational book that helps grieving children understand what
happens when we die, and celebrates the traditions people around
the world use to honour the dead. Death is an important part of
life, and yet it is one of the hardest things to talk about – for
adults as well as children. Death expert Sarah Chavez is determined
to create a book that sparks wonder and curiosity about dying,
instead of fear and shame. In this informative book, illustrated by
Annika Le Large, children will marvel at the flowers different
cultures use to represent death. They will find out about
eco-friendly burials, learn how to wrap a mummy, and go beneath the
streets of Paris to witness skull-lined catacombs! Readers will
also ride a buffalo alongside Yama, the Hindu god of death, come
face-to-face with the terracotta army a Chinese emperor built to
escort him to the afterlife, and party in the streets to celebrate
the Day of the Dead in Mexico. Through these examples Sarah Chavez
showcases the amazing ways humans have always revered those who
have died. Full of practical tips, this book won’t stop the pain
of losing a loved one or a pet, but it may give young readers ideas
for different ways they can celebrate those who have passed away,
and help begin the healing process.
