Description

‘Ideas Don’t Die’ is a children’s picture book which deals with the issue of death at various metaphorical levels. It is designed to help children cope with the loss of a loved one, in this instance a grandmother, and to understand that the good inside them is a living legacy. The two Lindas have created a sensitive and poignant collection of beautifully colourful images.

Book Extract

My Grandmother showed me…
That small seeds grow into great trees,
That need sunshine and showers.
That life doesn’t always go our way,
But we should try to see the funny side – eventually.
