Talking together and on equal terms with children about death and grief. A touching picture book for ages 5 and up. A child and their grandmother find a dead squirrel while walking through the forest. What could have happened to it? Was it sick? Or was it already very old? And what happens now to the squirrel, now that it is dead? A conversation unfolds about the many questions children ask when it comes to dying and what comes after. With care and great sensitivity, Cee Neudert and Lena Winkel manage to articulate these often painful thoughts in words and images, allowing adults and children to engage in meaningful dialogue.
