Hi Helen, Amalia makes an excellent point - the book would be of great help for families dealing with loss. In our local Hebrew School they explore life cycle events. I believe it is in the 4th grade curriculum. In some cases they visit a cemetery. Even though it is picture book, it would be an excellent resource for this older group, as well.

I feel that they should be used by parents who deal with loss of their own parents. It is hard to use it for an entire class.
