Read it before you let your child
My daughter brought this home from school and didnt like it too much and brought it to me to look at. I was really kinda shocked at the morbidness of the book and the way the family acted. I would not recommend this one.

Gentle book about death and grieving,
By A Customer
This review is from: You Hold Me And I'll Hold You (Orchard Paperbacks) (Paperback)
This book is a quiet, simple way to talk about death with children without scaring them. The little girl has already dealt with major traumas in her life-- her mother walked out on their family, her hamster died-- and so when her great-aunt dies, she is prepared to experience a new aspect of grieving. She sees her father and her older relatives wracked with grief and she reaches out with new understanding. As a class read-aloud, it offers lots of children access with the side story of her hamster's death, allowing a discussion of grief and love and support to emerge easily. The absence of the mother in the story also allows other kinds of grieving and separation to be acknowledged.
