| Summary, etc. |
Badger is so old that he knows he must soon die, so he does his best to prepare his friends. When he finally passes away, they are grief-stricken, but one by one they remember the special things he taught them during his life. By sharing their memories, they realise that although Badger is no longer with them physically, he lives on through his friends. Death is presented matter-of-factly: Badger does not try to resist death but rather looks forward to being released from a body which is no longer working as well as when he was younger, and his death is presented as as a dream-like experience in which he races jubilantly along a tunnel, full again of youthful vigour. The book does not espouse any specific spiritual beliefs about the afterlife, though it concludes by asserting that Badger somehow hears his old friend, Mole, addressing him. A section for adult caregivers is included at the back, with suggestions on how to utlise this book as a tool to help children with their grief. The quaint illustrations with their muted palette are reminiscent of the illustrations of The Wind and the Willows by Kenneth Grahame.
