life and death

This is one of my favorite children's books ever. Leave it to a child to bring out the meaning of life, after a death of a loved one. The perfect book to help children with the grieving process and a reminder to everyone to remember the good things about a person, and bury the bad.

It is a favorite book of my grandson. Very emotional for me.

My 5 year old grandson has to bring a book home from school each day to be read to him. I pick him up one day at school and guess what book he has. Fireflies, Peach Pies and Lullabyes. He climbs in my lap, before I even begin to read he says, "Nanny, this book will make you cry because the old woman dies". Sure enough it did. Then I have to explain why. I am a 44 year old woman and it touched my heart. The book told what we should look at instead of what we do. It is a fabulous book.
