I'm dying to ask!

When you die, do you lose your thoughts? How do I know that when I sleep, I'm not dead? If I die, what happens to my console? Is death scary? Is it true that when your head is cut off, your body runs around without a head? If someone you love dies, how long do you grieve? Will there be machines in the future to revive people? Why do they say "rest in peace" and not "joy in peace"?

Two writers and an illustrator dive into the topic and face 38 questions about death from girls and boys aged 5 to 15. What do they say?

This tender, unprejudiced book, strict and strangely funny, invites conversations, reflections and new questions about death.
