" - Kirkus Reviews When Grandpa suggests that a caterpillar might die if Christopher puts it in a jar. “Are you going to die, Grandpa?” “Someday, sweetheart. But I hope not too soon.” Their simple exchange covers a lot of philosophical ground. Grandpa allows that “no one really knows” what happens after death, but he tells Christopher that some people think of heaven (“a place without sadness or war”), others of rebirth (“each time, you get wiser”), and others of “nothing” (“the same as before you were born”). The pair discusses the whys of death (“dying is part of life”), birth (“to learn all sorts of things”), and feelings of fear or comfort about dying. An important picture book that gives children free rein to express their questions, fears, thoughts, and ideas about death. For children ages 5 and up.

"A young child and grandfather have a conversation about death.When Grandpa suggests that a caterpillar might die if Christopher puts it in a jar, Christopher asks some questions about death, beginning with "Are you going to die, Grandpa?" The response: "Someday, sweetheart. But I hope not too soon." (…) Their simple exchange covers a lot of philosophical ground. Grandpa acknowledges no one knows when they will die and that Christopher could die before him, but that the chance is small.

If you've ever had to explain death to a child or think there may come a time when you will (think goldfish or puppy, as well as grandparents), this would be a gentle way to approach the topic.
