Product Description |
|
When the dragonfly emerges from the water it is like coming out into life after death. A bestselling story with prayers for parents and children, with advice for parents. This attractive new hardback edition contains beautiful colour illustrations throughout. |

|
Not the best book for explaining dying. I ended up discarding it. |
|
There are many better books for teaching children about dying. I do not recommend this book at all. I have a curriculum for teaching children about death and this book did not meet our standards. |

Perfect Book for Children & Adults |
|
A mother told me about this book when I was searching for help in explaining death to my 7 year old son. He was overwhelmed and worried about the people he loved dying after a pet had died. Most reviews will tell you how wonderful this story is but there is so much more in this little book. The book also includes a prayer that you and your child can say (if someone in their lives has died). Also, there is a section for parents that offers methods to initiate a discussion with children on how the book relates to them and their experience. This is a helpful tool that explains death in a gentle way. |

Good Story |
|
Loved the story and the helps and prayers. Pictures are lacking to grab the little ones' attention. |

Excellent book |
|
This book is an excellent way to explain death and dying to young children. It really can be used for any age group. It is a wonderful story. I work in a hospice and have used this book for young children and adults love the story. |

beautiful story |
|
I work in hospice and see many lives affected by great loss. Often children are forgotten as adults mourn. I give this book to parents, grandparents, aunts and uncles to provide both attention to the children and a way to help them through a difficult time. This book is helpful and hopeful to all! |
