I first came across
'Water Bugs and Dragonflies' when it was read at a funeral I
attended. I thought it so beautifully explained death to children
that I immediately bought several copies and gave them to friends.
It's a tender tale of
death and new life. This mini-book uses the symbol of one water
bug, climbing a stalk to turn into a dragonfly, never to return.
