520 _aWater bugs who live happily under water wonder why some of their fellow water bugs climb up lily stalks to the surface and don't return. One bug promises to come back and tell the others where he went and why, but is unable to fulfil his promise as he becomes a dragonfly when he surfaces and can no longer swim back down to the water bugs. This metaphorical explanation for death and why loved ones don't return has text accompanied by full page simple illustrations for children to colour. Useful to adults as a tool to help adults answer children's questions about death. Colouring book with text. Audience: child 4 - 8, adult caregivers, professionals
