Besides "Annie and the Old One" by Miska Miles, it is one of my favorite books on the circle of life and on generations. I believe that developmentally appropriate honesty is always the best way when dealing with children and books can be a great help in explaining an event, like death, that is so hard to explain. Thanks for the suggestions! I remember reading “Nana Upstairs and Nana Downstairs” to my children many years ago.

When my three boys lost their dad, my husband, four years ago, they ranged in age from 10 to 19. Their reactions were all different and yet based on the same loss, devastating. Thank you.
