Publisher Description: Where do people and animals go when they die? And what happens to their bodies? The children's book 'Anton, Heaven and the Ocean' describes the loss of a beloved pet and tries to find answers to the questions above. Child friendly language and positive imagery help children to explore the topic of death. Disease, the process of dying and death are generally taboo in our society. However, they are an intrinsic part of life. Sooner or later we all have to say goodbye - to a pet, a family member, or a close friend. This story aims to help through such an experience. It offers parents and other interested readers ideas how to explain loss and death in a way appropriate for children, and shows how such loss can be processed within the family. |
