Description
An honest and simple exploration of death and grief for kids 4 to 8.
Bird is dead. Yesterday he was alive. Some of the other birds cry a little. And thats alright. Crying together can be nice. Then its time to give Bird a funeral. And have tea with worms. Or cake, if you dont like worms.
In a straightforward but warm way, this picture book of collaged birds can facilitate discussions with kids about:
- What happens when someone dies
- How to understanding their feelings of loss and grief
- How everyone experiences grief differently
Sensitive and humorous, Bird Is Dead provides kids and adults with a space to talk about death on their own terms.
