Summary: Good for discussing a difficult topic
Comment: Simple illustrations, like a child's colorful drawings, fill the pages of this book. The book asks questions as a child might - what is death, what happens to the body when we die, why does everyone want to know about death, what happens to the inside of a person (their funny stories, feelings, thoughts, ideas, love) when they dies?
The answsers are sensible. Boritzer talks about what different cultures do with the body, different beliefs of the soul and afterlife (including people who belief nothing happens), what death might be as seen by different people, and how making life meaningful now can help a person's memory live on.
Not a book about grieving, with no definite answers, this is a good book to keep on the bookshelf for the time when the questions will be raised by your child.

Summary: A Sensitive and Simple Approach to Death for Children
Comment: I read this book to my 2 young children (ages 4 and 6) and they were not "scared" as they originally thought they would be. The simple language and the clear thoughts presented, along with the colorful and whimsical illustrations, opened up a lively discussion between my children and myself. Obviously, no one can truly answer these questions but the author gives examples from different cultures and religions and that takes the fear out of this very difficult topic. I recommended the book to another friend who just had a serious bereavement issue with her child and she was equally impressed.
