'Why is Miffy so unhappy? On her cheek a tear is bright. Do you know why she is crying? Miffy's grandma died last night.' So begins this book about bereavement for the youngest child. Miffy is sad and Grandpa Bunny is sad, and all their relatives are sad. Miffy decides that Grandma looks quite comfy tucked up in her coffin, and everyone helps carry her to a wood where she is buried. Miffy often takes flowers to Grandma Bunny and says 'dear Grandma', hoping grandma understands. Dick Bruna's simple pictures and rhyming couplets will bring comfort to young children who don't yet comprehend death but who sense the sadness of those about them.
