Bill Bowerbird and the Unbearable Beak-Ache di Tyler Clark Burke
Note: I received a digital review copy through NetGalley.
Lou is a baby tooth in the upper mouth, and he is NOT eager to leave the only home he's even known, even as he watches his friends go one by one. At last, Lou is surrounded by BORING ADULTS and his time has come. He is whisked upstairs to a special little box that opens and closes like a mouth, and the Tooth Fairy takes him to tooth heaven, where he's reunited with all the other baby teeth. A funny angle on the loose-tooth subject.
Endpapers show the upper and lower mouth and each tooth in its own individual costume.

The story was fine, birds with teeth are pretty cool. I did not like Bill Bowerbird's look, he creeped me out a bit, but once I saw the owl I was all in illustration-wise.
Also then I found this adorable and perfect illustration of a pink cephalopod on Burke's website and I decided to not focus too much on weird Bill.

Summary: "Just as the sun sets to make way for the rising moon, or snowflakes melt only to return as fog and mist, things that disappear in nature often reappear in different forms. This picture book uses this simple but powerful metaphor of disappearance and reappearance as an entry point for talking with children about death."
An oblique and metaphorical approach to talking about death rather than a direct one.
