Review Quotes: A 2025 Kansas NEA Reading Circle Recommended Title "Chavez opens with soothing remarks about how death is a part of life [and] touches on a series of helpful, informative topics. Likely to help normalize a universal experience." -- Kirkus"This little book's chatty warmth and calm, demystifying approach belies its intimidating title; written by one of the founders of the Death Positive movement, it covers what death is, what happens to dead bodies, the different ways in which people process grief, and global rituals of remembrance. A 7+ school-library essential." -- The Guardian "A good choice for introducing young people to topics of death and grieving." -- Children's Literature "This really is an important book that opens up a space to talk about something that is often consigned to silence - the intimate relationship between life and death, between loving and grieving, and between celebrating and commemorating. A book to be read alone or with loved ones, to start conversations that should be at the heart of everyday life." -- Children's Books Ireland Biographical Note: Sarah Chavez is a historian, museum curator, and podcaster who has also worked on the popular YouTube series Ask a Mortician. She is one of the founders of the Death Positive movement, which wants to encourage a more open conversation about death. As the executive director of the "Order of the Good Death," a founding member of "The Collective for Radical Death Studies", and co-founder of feminist site "Death & the Maiden," Sarah's multifaceted approach to observing and honoring this process is unparalleled; her work weaves together the relationship between death and food, rituals, culture, and society, which she also shares on her blog "Nourishing Death." Annika Le Large is an illustrator based in Leipzig, Germany. Her artworks are often related to social issues or concepts of self-love. Annika previously illustrated We Need to Talk About Vaginas for Neon Squid.Brief Description: "A book by historian and museum curator Sarah Chavez that helps grieving children understand what happens when we die, and celebrates the traditions people around the world use to honor the dead."-- Publisher Marketing: Discover how cultures around the world honor the dead in this beautifully illustrated guide to help grieving children understand death.
