Simple sentences, large print and photographs give us a definition of death, something about different life spans, funerals, feelings of sadness and anger, helping friends, and remembering. Pets as well as people are included. There is a good section of notes for parents and teachers that explains different ways children may react to the death of someone they love; a glosssary, a list of further books on the subject, and a list of support organisations add to the usefulness of the book.
