A coloring book for conversations about death
Doris Stickney uses a metaphor from the insect world to help explain death to young children. As a coloring book, this edition offers an activity alongside a difficult subject, giving adults a way to begin answering children’s questions. The supplied description does not detail the metaphor, so its value here is in the approach: a concrete image that can open a conversation about loss.
Good fit for readers who enjoy
- Adults talking with young children about death
- Children who engage with ideas through coloring
