Mellonie, Bryan, (author.). Ingpen, Robert, 1936- (Added Author).

Summary:

When the death of a relative, a friend, or a pet happens or is about to happen... how can we help a child to understand? Lifetimes is a book for children of all ages, even parents too. It lets us explain life and death in a sensitive way. Lifetimes tells us about beginnings. And about endings. And about living in between. With illustrations, it tells about plants, animals, and 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.
