"Lola and the Tree of Life" is sensitively crafted to introduce children ages 4 through 8 to the idea of death as a part of life through the story of young Lola, her beloved friend Tree (a wise old oak) and her ailing grandfather. This richly illustrated, full-color book is designed to:

• Help a child prepare for the death of a loved one or pet before it happens
• Understand that, while death is permanent, memories, meaning and connections live on
• Learn about natural cycles in the beautiful web of life.

The book's website, lolaandthetreeoflife.com, provides additional resources for both adults and children.
