This matter-of-fact book introduces birth and death and that we do not know where we go when we die. "Those of us here are just here. And so we'd best enjoy ourselves." Fine for sharing with young ones who express curiosity but aren't grieving. Whimsical but old-fashioned looking, sharp-angled, and oddly colored illustrations seem a mismatch for the topic. The text is jaunty and informative but the overall package left me cold.
