A beautifully written, tender and sad chapter book about death for early elementary. Might be helpful to kids experiencing a death in the family, or as a reminder to adults that kids may grieve differently than adults.

I loved this book. I was initially drawn to the art style and the eye-catching title, which itself illustrates the unrelenting curiosity of children. Originally performed as a one-girl play in Germany, this book is about a girl coming to terms with the death of her younger brother. She handles her grief in a way that feels most comforting to me - with humor and sadness and so much humanity. It's not so much depressing as it is touching, and left me with a small smile after I turned the last page.
Moderate: Child abuse
Minor: Cursing
