      Death is a big concept, and can be confusing and distressing to explain to young children. This simple guide presents 17 'big' questions children might ask about death, and answers each clearly, simply and truthfully. Each question is accompanied by an illustration and a prompt to encourage children to explore their feelings.

      What Does Dead Mean? is a beautifully illustrated book that guides children gently through 17 of the ''big'' questions they often ask about death and dying.

      Questions such as ''Is being dead like sleeping?'', ''Why do people have to die?'' and ''Where do dead people go?'' are answered simply, truthfully and clearly to help adults explain to children what happens when someone dies. Prompts encourage children to explore the concepts by talking about, drawing or painting what they think or feel about the questions and answers.

      Suitable for children aged 4+, this is an ideal book for parents and carers to read with their children, as well as teachers, therapists and counsellors working with young children.
