How to Talk About Death
Children's Books2023 · 80 pp · Age 3 - 6

How to Talk About Death

Anna Fiske

Death is next up in Anna Fiske’s How series. This is a topic that children are curious about, and which adults may find difficult to discuss. What actually happens with the body when you die? What’s a funeral? And why do we even have to die? Anna Fiske has an incredibly unique form of communicating, and in How to Talk About Death she speaks to the children at their level and takes them seriously, while also managing to write a heart-warming, inclusive and at times even funny book about death. A perfect conversation starter for anyone who has questions about death, or who knows someone who’s passed away. The How-series has been a phenomenal success both in Norway and abroad, and it has been translated into multiple languages. NOMINATED TO THE BRAGE PRIZE FOR BEST NON-FICTION BOOK FOR CHILDREN Useful and concrete about death "Children and adults grieve differently, and Fiske’s book is wide-open with tolerance and understanding. Fiske does what she does best: illustrates and explains in clear and thorough manner – and at the same time, simply and straightforwardly." VÅRT LAND

It creeps through the streets and up through the floor she stands on, inside the soles of her shoes, it tickles her toes, her feet must dance, they are not able to stop, it’s as if the song is dancing with her rather than the other way around. But where is the sound coming from? In Sofia Finds a Song we’re taken on an adventure to find a melody with magnetic powers. Because when you find your own song, it is yours forever.
