One of the most difficult topics to discuss is death and loss. Yet this is a natural part of the tapestry of life. Everyone of us is affected by, or experiences the loss of a loved one at some point in our lives. When death is experienced in the immediate family whether a beloved pet, or grandparent, parent, sibling, relative, or close friend, the emotions triggered are very painful. Young children who don't have the understanding of the here after, will be especially affected by such a loss. In the grip of personal grief, parents may be at a loss for words as they too struggle during this imperative time. Zebra Tales - Daisy Dewdrop Dolittle - the 6th book in the Mr. Stripes series, explores and reveals that death is just the ending of physical form. That life is ever lasting, and that when one dies, limitation, and separation are removed.
