Series: We Need to Talk About

An educational book that helps grieving children understand what happens when we die, and celebrates the traditions people around the world use to honour the dead. Death is an important part of life, and yet it is one of the hardest things to talk about - for adults as well as children. In this informative book, children will marvel at the flowers different cultures use to represent death. They will find out about eco-friendly burials, learn how to wrap a mummy, and go beneath the streets of Paris to witness skull-lined catacombs! Full of practical tips, this book won't stop the pain of losing a loved one or a pet, but it may give young readers ideas for different ways they can celebrate those who have passed away, and help begin the healing process.

Reviews for We Need to Talk About Death: An IMPORTANT Book About Grief, Celebrations, and Love

"""This really is an important book that opens up a space to talk about something that is often consigned to silence – the intimate relationship between life and death, between loving and grieving, and between celebrating and commemorating. A book to be read alone or with loved ones, to start conversations that should be at the heart of everyday life."" * Children's Books Ireland * ""Chavez opens with soothing remarks about how death is a part of life [and] touches on a series of helpful, informative topics. Likely to help normalize a universal experience."" * Kirkus *"
