What this is

One picture book about death, chosen to be read aloud by an adult to a child. It gives the adult a script for a conversation most of them are dreading. Sent in the post with your handwritten card, shipping within Canada included. Suitable for roughly ages four to nine.

What's included

  • One picture book about death and loss
  • Fare-Well handwritten card with your message
  • Shipping within Canada included
  • A handwritten Fare-Well card with your message, and a memorial birdseed ornament.
  • Your card and ornament are posted separately, so something still arrives at the door.

Why we chose this

Children are told euphemisms because adults panic and reach for them. A good book stops that happening, and the adult reading it usually needs it as much as the child does.
