This is a story about a kid who has lost his grandpa. He goes around asking his family members what they did on the day that his grandpa passed away. He is hurt that his grandpa passed away and does not know how to express his emotions. At the end of the book we find out that he was mad that his grandpa passed away and he should have been sad. He was trying to blame it on somebody and wanted to hate somebody. This is an excellent book for children who have experienced death at a young age. This book helps those who cannot figure out their thoughts on why somebody has passed away. ( )

This is a marvelous book for a child who has experienced death at such a young age. I believe this could potentially help the child come out to their own thoughts about what is happening and why.

This is exactly what this little boy, in the book, is experiencing. His grandfather, Bill, just died and now he's going to each of his family members asking "What did you do on the day Grandad died?"
Each family member has a different perspective on death and explains what they did on that day. Everyone deals with death differently and this is what the little boy learned at the end. The little boy explains that he was mad at someone but he did not know who. He knew he should be sad, but his mad feelings were towards death since death took his Granddad Bill away.

This book has an underlying theme of dealing with death and being open about it. Everyone deals with death differently and that's okay this is what the boy learns while he also learns more facts about his grandad who passed away.

The book is written in a child's perspective therefore if a child reads it they can feel more connected with this book if they have recently lost someone. It also has a very nice flow with a rhyme pattern within it. ( )

A boy shares his own feelings with others after he asks them how they felt when their grandfather died.

A story about loss and how a family deals with it in their own way, written from a child's perspective. The child asks everyone how they felt, but it isn't until the end that someone cares enough to ask the boy how he feels, and explores those feelings deeper.

A great book to teach about loss, or to hold that conversation with a young child. A sensitive subject, and the book strikes a nerve while reading, so I recommend reading it a little at a time and discussing each response as you go. ( )
