A beautiful and gentle look at the circle of life, using Christine Pym's gorgeous animal characters to explore the emotions and facts around death, with questions such as Is it ok to talk about dying? What happens when someone dies? Can I shout and cry and hide away? and How can I stop feeling sad?
Reviews
Amanda
Young children are experts at asking those awkward questions. This Usborne book, Why Do Things Die?, is filled with little nuggets of information and starting points for discussions.
Lift the flap option ensures that the speed that a child accesses the information can be slowed. The text under the flaps will need to be read by adults and approached sensitively. This is an interesting way to approach some difficult conversations. The simple, cute, colourful animal illustrations will appeal to adults and children.
This beautiful lift the flap book is sure to be a staple in every pre-school environment, EYFS and KS1 department.
