What’s Dead Mean?

How to Help Children Cope with Death

Doris Zagdanski

What’s Dead Mean? is a true activity book specially written to help children cope with death. This outstanding work combines drawing and pasting with facilitated talking to help parents teachers child care workers or indeed anyone faced with the challenge of communicating this vital and often neglected message to the young. At traumatic times it can be difficult to find the words to say and to overcome the grief of the situation to be present for the hurting child.
