Where Do People Go When They Die?
In this touching narrative, young children ask, “Where do people go when they die?” Each child asks an adult that they trust—a father, a mother, a grandfather, an aunt, a teacher—and, although the reassuring answers they receive are all different, each leads back to the same simple truth: when people die, “They go to God. Who is everywhere.” With an afterward and helpful suggestions about how to explain death to children, readers will find insight into one of the emotional issues we all struggle with.

Reviews
Detroit Jewish News
“. . .a beautiful book that will comfort both children and parents. . . What graceful writing – and on such a difficult subject. The illustrations are charming, thoughtful and inviting.”
—Detroit Jewish News
Jewish Book World
“This thoughtful book. . . beautifully illustrated. . . fills a gaping void. . . It succeeds marvelously in offering a range of ways for children, and the adults in their lives, to think about death. The answers provided in this book are comforting, thought-provoking, and sensitive to the real needs of children and families.”

School Library Journal
“Haas’s muted watercolor illustrations help set the tone for this meaningful much-needed book on a universal topic."

“. . .meant to be a resource, both for professionals and lay-people, for teachers and parents. What I really appreciate about this book is that each of the answers to the questions stand next to the other, allowing the reader to understand that there are many valid answers and that they can all be ‘right’ at the same time. . . Moreover, the answers are simple and understandable, making the book accessible to young children.”
