About this title

Synopsis

Winner of a Moonbeam Children's Book Award 2017
I Have a Question about... is a 2018 Winner of the Moonbeam Children's Book Award Silver Medal for Best Book Series - Non-Fiction

Death is a difficult topic for any parent or educator to explain to a child, perhaps even more so when they are autistic or have other special needs. This book is designed specifically to help children with these additional needs to understand what happens when someone dies.

The first book of its kind, I Have a Question about Death uses straightforward text and images to walk children through what it means when someone dies, as well as ways they might want to react or to think about the person. Using clear illustrations throughout and with information for parents and guardians, this book is essential for families who need to talk about death with any child aged 5-11.
