In this reassuring lift-the-flap book with bold and colourful illustrations, he asks his mum important questions about death and bereavement. Why do people have to die? What happens to them once they are dead? What can he do to remember his grandma?

It is ideal for young children who have been bereaved. Questions about death are explored in a sensitive open-ended way to offer reassurance in what can be a difficult time for both parents and children.
