Death can be overwhelming and difficult for children to understand. Parents who are also overcome by the grief of the moment may also have a hard time communicating about death and dying to their small children.


Missing Butterfly Feelings is a book to help children understand death and dying. Dr. Nelson, as a child psychiatrist, has used this story to help children and their families handle the issues. Most adults don't know how to talk about death. This book gives the children and their adults a language to process their feelings about death.
