About The Circle of Life: Rhyming story to explain death to children:
When the death of a family member, pet, or friend happens or is about to happen — children are scared and have questions they are often afraid to ask grieving adults. Let this book help you explain life and death in a sensitive, caring, developmentally appropriate way.
Danny’s favorite tree died, and he is having a hard time adjusting. But his father is here to help:
“If you get to say goodbye,
Tell them how much you care,
And talk about the good times
That both of you did share.
But anytime you need to talk,
Your feelings do not hide.
I’ll hold your hand if you are scared,
And be right here by your side.”
