Synopsis

This picture book gently introduces children to the concept of death by comparing life to the wind—present and active, then still when it departs. It explores feelings of loss, ways to cope with grief, and how to cherish memories of loved ones. The story also touches on different beliefs about what happens after life ends, all conveyed through endearing animal illustrations.
