Death Is Stupid (Ordinary Terrible Things)

Death Is Stupid (Ordinary Terrible Things) by Higginbotham, Anastasia. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9781558619258.

Death Is Stupid is an invaluable tool for discussing death, but also the possibilities for celebrating life and love. "Shes in a better place now," adults say again and again. But mortality doesnt seem better, it seems stupid. This forthright exploration of grief and mourning recognizes the anger, confusion, and fear that we feel about death. Necessary, beautiful, and ultimately reassuring. The Ordinary Terrible Things Series shows children who navigate trouble with their senses on alert and their souls intact. In these stories of common childhood crises, help may come from family, counselors, teachers, or dreams—but crucially, its the children themselves who find their way to cope and grow.
