Books and resources to help children understand death (age-appropriate picks families can use)

When a child is dealing with death, a good book gives you a shared “third thing” to look at together - so the conversation isn’t all on them (or all on you). Age-appropriate stories can put plain language to big, confusing ideas like “death,” “funeral,” and “missing someone,” and they can show kids that a lot of feelings can be true at the same time: sadness, anger, worry, even moments of play. Books also help because kids often ask the same questions again and again. Re-reading lets them revisit the hard parts at their own pace, and it gives you a steady way to answer honestly without overexplaining. You don’t have to get every word perfect - what matters most is being present, naming what’s happening, and making it safe for your child to talk (or not talk) when they’re ready.
