    It is based on our true story.When my 34 year old husband died very suddenly and unexpectedly, I turned to books to try and explain to our very young children what had happened, and why Daddy couldn't come back. To my dismay, I couldn't find any such book. Not in the UK, not in my native Germany, not in the US. I decided to write my own.The first conversation with Alex I initiated, after that, all I did was answer his questions - honestly, and in words he could understand. Sometimes that meant saying 'I don't know', and sometimes it meant going beyond what I would previously have thought 'acceptable'. My son was looking for answers; he needed to understand. The worst thing had already happened; the worst thing I could lose now, was my children's trust. This book is the first conversations we had, in Alex's own words.It shows other children that they are not alone, and gives carers the confidence and words to help explain death.Hardback, 32 pages + end papers, full colour throughout, US Letter size, Language: English
