Helping us all learn about a family coping with death.
Parents should read this book first then discuss with kids as they read the book. Excellent story about a family's reaction to the sudden death of a son. Tells about the families reactions to those who are trying to help but are saying the wrong things.
Reasonable discussions for the usual questions about death and guilt.

A very good book
This book is very good for young students because it deals with a sensitive issue, that is death, in a way that students can cope with the concept. Even though I found this book sad, I couldn't help laughing through it because the little girl remembers funny stories about her brother that has died and in remembering him.. her and her family are able to heal.

A Sad, Humorous & Very Memorable Book About Choices
This book is a touching, realistic story revealing the importance of choices in life, and the consequences those choices may have, as well as dealing with the death of a loved one. It brings laughter, tears, and most importantly provokes thought (and hopefully discussion) about the choices we make. It includes a great message about bike safety. For a short engaging book, it's packed with importance. I read it every year to my 6th graders and we have great discussions. I wish that those who read it as 3rd or 4th graders would read it again when they get older.
