Why Do Things Die? (Lift the Flap First Questions & Answers): 1 (First Questions and Answers) Board book – 3 Sept. 2020

A friend recommended this book as my 3 year old was asking questions. It talked about death in an easy to understand way and handled the different questions little ones have. I've since gone on to recommend it to other friends.

This book got us through the hard time of losing our dog. Our 4 year old had so many questions and this helped us answer some in a very gentle way.

Bought for a 5 year old after the death of his grandma. This was the favourite book that he kept returning to.

My daughter who is 4 loves this book and it has helped explain why people and living things die with out causing upset.

My little one had a lot of questions about this topic and to be honest I didn't know what to try. No exaggeration, after buying this book the worry lifted for us both. I'm grateful I found this so it's easier to discuss a difficult topic without scaring her.

My child asked me out of the blue about death: at such a young ageI was massively under prepared and didn't really know what to say. This straightforward, beautifully illustrated book really helped us navigate the trickier questions.

Very matter of fact, lift the flap book about death and dying. This books answers those blunt questions that kids ask, or are just thinking about, and really helped my daughter when a family friend died.

This book is excellent. It helps kids process death

This book is very blunt and to the point, which is what we were looking for. That is the approach we wanted to take with our daughter, but some was just a little over her head. Thankfully she is young enough, we were able to not read certain sections and she was none the wiser. The book is extremely high quality and the flaps felt quite secure.
