| Summary: | Books about death can help people to think about life's meaning purpose and need not contain religious ideas to help them do so. Those for children and young people can be divided into two broad groups and those for adults can be divided into four groups, of which the largest seems to be professional accounts of work with children and young people of guidelines for future work. As well as reviewing three particular texts which fall into three of these groups – Death (Bryant‐Mole. 1992), Fred (Simmonds, 1987) and Mental Health In Your School (Young Minds, 1996)‐this article discusses some established classics and other more recent publications which fall into the same groups. It ends by endorsing the inclusion of books about death in school and class libraries and calls for better initial and inservice training for teachers, for death education to be included in the curriculum. |
