Children do not have that luxury. This book tries to explain what a funeral is
and what happens at a funeral.
It is non-denominational and does not deal with the grief that normally
accompanies a funeral. This book just tries to explain the basic aspects of a
funeral from the perspective of a ten-year-old boy who just lost his
father.
If you like the book a review on Amazon or Barnes and Noble would be great!

When a child loses a loved one it can be quite devastating. William's book, Goodbye Dad, is intended for just a time as this.
Randy has lost his dad and is going through one of the hardest times of his life. His mother takes him to the funeral home to arrange his dad's funeral. Randy meets Kirk, the funeral manager's son, a knowledgeable as well as sympathetic, young man about Randy's age. After he takes Randy around the funeral home and describes to him the basic preparations of a funeral, Randy's finds some solace in his sad situation.
This sensitive topic isn't the most popular to write about, however, William's intent is to bring understanding and comfort to children who have lost a loved one. Incorporating a young boy helping another young boy may help grieving children deal with pain and sorrow. Children, quite often, find comfort when their peers take interest in them as well as show them empathy and kindness. This book showcases just that kind of situation. It could be helpful for children who are dealing with the painful loss of losing a loved one.
