Waterbugs and Dragonflies – Explaining Death to Young Children
by Doris Stickney
A well loved little book that has proved its worth to many, many children and their parents. Now reissued 2003 with a new ISBN. Very simply told, even little children can grasp the basic truth that the story is putting across. The hardback is beautifully illustrated in colour. Also available paperback.

Mudge, Gill and Steve
by Jim Dainty
One of the best books written for children on bereavement. Gill, Steve, and their dog Mudge come face to face with death when their neighbour’s baby, Joe, dies. The book deals with death in a sensitive way and deals with questions like, Why does God allow children to die? What is a funeral? What happens after death? Will our sad feelings go away? At the end of the book, a letter written to adults, by bereaved children tries to make us understand how they feel, and that by talking things through with their parents they were helped to find the missing pieces of the jigsaw of life. The book ends with six Bible passages dealing with death.
