Discussing Death and Dying with Children

I highly recommend this book to all parents and teachers who wish to talk with their young children about death and dying, especially if someone close to the child has a terminal illness. Big Bird goes through the same emotions and questions that we, especially children, may have after someone close to us dies, so it opens up wonderful dialogue for the children to express their feelings. The book's front and back cover also explains how this book can be used to discuss these issues with children of all ages. I read this book to a three-year-old in my preschool and found that it was able to bring memories of my late father to me.
