How do you explain death to a child?

When someone we love grows old and passes away, the questions come gently and honestly: Why do we die? Where do we go? What is a soul? Will love ever really leave? Why Do Elephants Die? was created to help families answer those tender questions together, with warmth, hope, and a lot of heart.

In this full-color illustrated story, twin elephant calves Ella and Fella notice that their beloved Granny is growing older. With the help of a kind doctor, they slowly come to understand what happens when a living thing reaches the end of its lifetime: the body grows tired, the heart slows, and the soul takes flight, while the love and wisdom of those we lose stay with us forevermore.

Told with the softness of a bedtime poem and the friendliness of a comic, this is a comforting first conversation about loss, grief, and remembrance for young readers.

This gentle story helps children:
