"Understanding death doesn't necessarily take away our anxieties or
fears about our own death, or our sadness about other people's
deaths, but it does help us find ways to continue on with our
lives." --Penny Colman"A daring and satisfying approach to a
difficult subject." --Publisher's Weekly, starred review"Death, the
last stage of the human condition, has been underreported and
mostly avoided in writing for young people. Colman takes on the
task with just the right mix of unblinking realism and sensitivity
to varieties of beliefs and practices." --School Library Journal,
starred review"The author has a compassionate eye, and she manages
to endow her topic with both humanity and humor." --The Bulletin of
the Center for Children's Books"This solid, sensitive book answers
a wealth of questions young people have but often are too reluctant
to ask." --Booklist, starred review
