Emily L. replied:
Todd Parr's The Goodbye Book is the best nonspecific (not a pet, not a grandparent--anyone) and non-religious book on death I've found. I love it for its versatility (I adore Ida Always "more," but for more specific situations). It acknowledges all the different ways you might feel or not feel--no pressure to have certain feelings about the death. It works as well for sudden goodbyes as for slow ones.
Emily V. replied:
Lifetimes: a beautiful way to explain death to children (Bryan Mellonie) is remarkably honest, gentle, and accessible. Also, I really love the book Cry Heart, but Never Break. https://www.brainpickings.org/2016/03/08/cry-heart-but-never-break/

Movement songs are great at any age, but the older children enjoy the scouting chants.
