This collection of prayers provides children with the kind of comfort and hope that grown-ups find hard to put into words when a loved one dies. Prayers old and new combine with words from Scripture to offer consolation, comfort, hope, and reassurance. The collection can be dipped into for comfort, or read in its entirety, taking young children on the journey of accepting the change and loss found in nature (seasons, plants, creatures) through to a deeper acceptance of death and the belief in the enduring nature of love.
