Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

Reminiscent of Peter Mayle's Where Did I Come From?, this book explains death, its effect on the living, and some of the beliefs, customs, and rituals associated with it.

Review

The passing of a relative or friend can be a bewildering time for children. Why Do People Die? is a poignant, moving, and straight-forward book wherein children will discover answers to their questions when those they love die. Designed to be read aloud to young children, Why Do People Die? is a full-color picture book that delivers information forthrightly, honestly, and in a consoling tone. It answers all the questions children could possibly ask, such as why people die, what happens at a funeral, and why the child feels so sad. A parent who is stuck for words or needs a little help with an explanation will find here a sensitively illustrated text that eases children's minds and brings them comfort and assurance. Cynthia MacGregor's sensitive and informative text is superbly illustrated by David Clark's colorful and engaging illustrations. -- The Children's Bookwatch/The Midwest Book Review --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
