Does a dying child understand death? How can we help children who are dying?

Originally published in 1993, this book concerns a young girl, Rachel, terminally ill with leukaemia.

The result is a moving and informative story that will be invaluable to caregivers and families with a dying child. It provides new understanding of the experience of a dying child and suggests practical strategies for coping.
