Publisher's Synopsis
"Talking to children about death can be hard. Water Bugs and Dragonflies, a perennial bestseller, can help you to answer their questions. In Water Bugs and Dragonflies, Doris Stickney tells the story of a small colony of water bugs living below the surface of a pond. Whenever a bug leaves the pond, those left behind are faced with the mystery of their absence. Stickney invites children into the question of their absence. Artist Meredith Gould brings whimsy and watercolor to this 50th anniversary edition, which celebrates the ongoing impact of Doris Stickney's original article in Colloquy on talking with children about death"--.
