Why should I brush my teeth when I'm going to bite the dust anyway? This question from eight-year-old Max, who is suffering from leukemia, sparked the creation of this book. For two years, the authors collected questions from children with life-limiting illnesses. They wanted to know what questions children ask when it comes to their own death and dying. The result is a unique collection of extraordinary and inspiring questions. "Grass Biter Gang" captures what caregivers in hospices and families experience: especially children face their imminent death with a sense of ease and often comfort their parents and other relatives with calmness and humor. For those involved in the hospice movement, death returns to life. It is only the awareness of its finiteness that makes life valuable and drives us to strive to make the most of every moment.
