This is a simple yet moving way of helping children understand and cope with death as a form of life.
  BLTSbraille | Sep 13, 2021 |
Death itself is a hard reality that many people face at certain points in their lives and it could very well make the child upset. However, the way the author describes the concept of death is a sweet and calming way while using animals and then of course human beings talking about while using easy to absorb information. ( )

Lifetimes is a moving book for children of all ages, even parents too. It lets us explain life and death in a sensitive, caring, beautiful way. Lifetimes tells us about beginnings. And about endings. And about living in between. With large, wonderful illustrations, it tells about plants. About animals. About people. It tells that dying is as much a part of living as being born. It helps us to remember. It helps us to understand.

Lifetime gives a better understanding about life not only to children, but to parents too. This book helps explain what you can say or do when the death of a pet, relative or friend happens.

This book discussed what is life for all living creatures. It states the information in a non-emotional and factual way, that for all creatures there is a beginning and there will be an end. It describes the life and death of plants, animals and humans.

Ages: 5-8
