The death of a loved one is a compulsory subject for everyone

The book allows young readers to understand what it is like to have a loved-one pass away, but it's also suitable to all ages, because everyone will face the sorrow of losing their family and friends. Sometimes we are the little boy, sometimes we are the dad. Throught the story, readers are able to observe the process of the boy accepting his mom's death, from denial, unforgiving, to realizing that she still lives in his heart.

A sincere answer is the way to rescue a confused child

A lot of parents would avoid talking about death to their children, sometimes they even don't know how. But answer "I don't know" honestly is the best answer. The book starts from the boy asking a series of questions regarding death, and guiding the readers to how to accept the fact, healing from their memories and realize that love is eternal from their interactions.
