Bigger Than a Dream

People fear death (apparently just a tiny bit less than public speaking). Yet children, especially, have questions, and this incredibly gentle and surprisingly light story is full of both comfort and vividly imagined "answers." In this book, a boy hears the voice of his sister calling him one day—a sister he's never met, because she died before he was born. When he asks his mother what death is like, she explains, "It's like dreaming, only bigger." But he still has questions, which it turns out his sister can answer! On a dreamy, carefree adventure they ride their bikes together, (not always on the ground), visiting places that were special to her when she was alive, while she talks to him as the older sister he needs. More than bibliotherapy, this is a work of art that speaks with honesty and tenderness about one of life's great mysteries (Short Discount)
