This review is from: Water Bugs and Dragonflies: Explaining Death to Children (Paperback)
We lost our mom and grandma very tragically in a car accident two months ago. I had to explain to my 5 and 2 year old girls what had happened and why we wouldn't be able to see grandma anymore. My five year old was very close to her grandma and she grieved...in her prayers at night she started to ask the angels to bring her grandma back. After reading her this book she realized that her grandma would love to come back to her but she couldn't. When I read this book for the first time myself before reading it to my daughters it was the first time I could really grieve because I knew that this book would help my daughter understand. The simplicity of the events and the sense of comfort that a person feels while reading makes this the best book to have when tragedy strikes.

After having lost our son Adam in a drowning accident, I wanted a book to read to our children, ages 9 and 13 so that they could understand the concept of death. The book not only helped them but also helped my husband and I in our mourning. I recommend this book highly to anyone in the position of explaining or experiencing the loss of a loved one.

Someone who works at our hospital gave this book to us when we had a stillborn daughter. It is an excellent and sweet story, and my three other children really loved it. I send it to everyone I know who loses someone close to them, whether they have children or not.
