The Adventures of Thelma Thistle and Her Friends - Discovering Dying

While scanning Facebook, a request from a grandmother touched my heart. This grandmother asked if anyone knew of books for children about dying.

While there are many wonderful books on the subject, I grasped the opportunity for Thelma and her friends to help children learn about dying from a young person's perspective.

It is my great privilege to offer to you and your children Thelma and her friends learning about dying. May it touch your heart as it did mine.

When little girls across the fence had her birthday party, she received a black puppy as a birthday present. Now, Thelma and her friends learn that Puppy died. Distraught and confused, Thelma asked Grandfather, "What is dying?"

Grandfather's wise answer comforts the friends and remove any fear they might have had about dying.
