Whistler's Last Song - Paperback

For ages 3-9... "Whistler's Last Song" is a comforting, educational story parents can read together with their children to help address the most common misconceptions about death when coping with the loss of a loved one. Set deep in the forest, "Whistler's Last Song" tells the story of the Leaf family's son, Whistler, who was born with a hole in his tummy. Each time the winds blow across his belly, it creates a peaceful melody for the whole forest to hear. As time goes on, the heavy winds against Whistler's tummy cause his stem to tear more and more from the tree where he lives with his family. As Whistler's last night approaches, the animals of the forest gather around the tree to voice their questions about death and dying to the wise Papa Oak. The love and support Papa Oak provides brings peace to both the animals and reader alike.
