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.
