Why Do Things Die?/Katie Daynes

A beautiful and gentle look at the circle of life, using Christine Pym's gorgeous animals 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? The latest in the wonderful First Questions and Answers series, this title covers an extremely tricky topic in a friendly and approachable way. Uses animal characters in the same way as First Q A: What are feelings? Fills a very important gap in the market, helping parents and carers to find the words to explain death and dying to young children.
