About this title

Review

"Helping a small child understand death can be an especially difficult task. Life is Like the Wind is just the book for a caring adult to use as a bridge when approaching this topic with a child. Facing the sadness that comes with the loss of a life, missing the loved one and celebrating their memory are approached in a manner appropriate for young children. Charming watercolor illustrations work well with this gentle message of love, kindness, and caring in the face of grief and loss."

--Catholic Library World

"It's beautifully written, subtle, and despite the fact that death remains a mystery to all of us, she [Shona Innes] gets the very important message across about what it is in a way that children can comprehend. Shona Innes does an amazing job of making the subject of death a natural part of life, and does so in a soothing way, with charming illustrations by Irisz Aggocs your child will really love. All parents should read 'Life is Like the Wind' and 'Friendship is Like a Seesaw' with their children."
