Description

I can see how an older child might need something a little more substantial, but for small children (and my extremely-literal son), this is really well done book. I bought it for my 3 year old who doesn't yet grasp the concept of death but we have seen many dead insects and a good few dead birds and mice (pet cat - need I say more! I'm not sure about some of the facts--some butterflies live longer than what was stated in the book. This book didn't focus on sadness or fear, rather it focused on how normal this process is and how every living thing will experience death at some point. The majority of pages are undamaged with some creasing or tearing, and pencil underlining of text, but this is minimal.

This Goodreads listing is the one that uses the correct title (Lifetimes: The Beautiful Way to Explain Death to Children).

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. Thank you, Bryan Mellonie and Robert Ingpen, for making it easier to comfort children with a gentle perspective about death. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. It explains the cyclic nature of life and death for animals, plants and people in a matter of fact, beautiful and poignant way.

This guidebook offers a comprehensive, easy-to-read overview of how children grieve and strategies to support them. This book talks about death in all living things in a matter of fact manner and helped us have deeper conversations too. But we are all going to die, every one of us, and this book can help to understand that without fairy tales or hysteria.Some deal with death of a loved pet and some deal with the death of a grandparent or other family member.
