Questions about death, life, and what we leave behind

Annabelle’s question about death opens a conversation that moves between playful invention and ideas about remembrance and the natural world. Aiden imagines an afterlife populated by marshmallow shoes and chocolate kangaroos, while friends including the Skeptisaurus and Tardigrade Tom help the children consider what can be known. The book presents atoms returning to the universe, energy enduring, and loved ones’ stories continuing through memory. Its central thread connects mortality with the chance to live meaningfully and value time with people we love.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Children ages 9–12 encountering questions about death and what may follow it.
  • Families or educators seeking a children’s book that opens discussion of mortality, memory, and meaning.
  • Young readers who enjoy imaginative details alongside ideas about science and the natural world.

Book overview

In this inspiring, life-affirming tale, Annabelle asks, "What happens when we die?" Aiden dreams of an afterlife with marshmallow shoes and chocolate kangaroos. But with the help of their dear friends like the Skeptisaurus and Tardigrade Tom, the children discover what we do know, and how worth celebrating it is. How our atoms rejoin the universe, which remains forever changed by our lives. How our energy lasts forever, along with the stories of our loved ones we keep alive by honoring their memories. And most of all, how mortality can inspire us to appreciate the incredible opportunity we've been given: to live the best, most meaningful lives we can, surrounded by the people we love.
