Overview

Talking about death to a child is hard, because there are no answers that stand up to the endless stream of 'why' that floods the holy, young, curious mind. We were all once like that, and many of us never got sufficient answers to our questions. There are no final answers to the great questions in life. Death, loss, worry, fear: they visit us all. Our inability to talk about and work through them as individuals and as a collective human family creates additional, unnecessary suffering. The ""answer"" we need is conversation about these topics, realizing that we all experience them. ""Death and Dragons"" presents a conversation for children of all ages. It is presented simply enough for a child and profoundly enough to speak to the child in all of us. This book addresses many of the questions a young mind may raise regarding life and death. An illustrated dialogue between a childlike main character and an 'offscreen' adult figure uses the death of the main character's grandmother as a springboard for conversations that are thoughtful, touching, and open-ended. ""Death and Dragons"" seeks not to deliver answers but rather to foster conversations about the things we fear, which all too often remain silent. ""Death and Dragons"" provides a listening ear and a loving arm of support amidst the struggle of the unknown and the navigation of grief for our inner and outer children. We are not alone here. We are loved. We face the dragons together.
