Reviews

PreS-Gr. 2. The age-old question gets some thoughtful answers in this to-the-point book. A child asks her father where people go when they die. Father answers, "They are buried in the ground . . and become part of the earth and of nature." Mother talks of heaven, Grandfather says the dead go into our memories and become part of our minds. The child's aunt talks about how those who die go into our hearts: "They are with us when we cry and when we laugh." The child comes to her own conclusion: "When we die we go to God, who is Everywhere." The answers are slightly more elaborate than the above quotes, but written at a level even young children can understand. Portnoy, a rabbi, concludes with several pages of suggestions for parents, advising them of other questions children might ask and ways to answer. Dignified watercolors illustrate the text.
