Incorporates a number of skin colors and unifies everyone though things skin goes through--goosepimples, scrapes, etc.

This book is a masterpiece for children in late elementary and younger. It covers the biggest aspects of death and dying from many angles (different religions, cultures, etc.). It explains what death is in simple terms, normalizes the range of emotions one can feel about death, and offers suggestions for what to do post-death to deal with it and to remember the deceased. Finally, it offers a glossary of death-related terms.

Story of friendship, imagination, sharing, and caring.

Hikers set out to look for Yeti, send him notes along the way. Yeti rescues them from a grizzly bear and helps them find their way home.

Creative way of looking at nighttime as non-scary--just a different "world". Dark illustrations give way to sunrise/daytime.

Illustrations sometimes have a touch element to them. Cute book.
