When Will My Woodlouse Wake Up?

A picture book about bereavement that isn't at all depressing! When his pet woodlouse won’t wake up one day, Ross learns from his big sister all about definite, incredible deadness. But if Lord Jeffry isn’t here anymore, where exactly is he? The siblings go to the library to see if they can find out, and although Ross misses his pet, he is comforted thinking of the adventures he might be having now. Eating pears in heaven .

. . reincarnated into another animal .

. . or perhaps all of his goodness has gone back into the earth to grow something beautiful.
