But in the end, we all are going to die. Explaining death to a young child doesn\u2019t have to be difficult. Dear Diary: My Brother Died Today explains the concept of dying in words that a child can understand.<\/p>\n<p>This book is the third in a trilogy about the circle of life. It lets children perceive the life in heaven that awaits them, and although the story is fictional, it could easily happen. In it, a seven-year-old girl records the sudden death of her older brother by writing her feelings in her diary. In her own innocent way, she tells about being able to see him when no one else can. She embraces this ability and is not afraid.<\/p>\n<p>Throughout the book, the little girl describes her brother\u2019s nearness, even when she cannot see him anymore. In her own honest and trusting way, she is able to help her parents cope with their loss. She also learns about angels and knows that her brother is safe.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/sbprabooks.com\/suzannegenecourtney\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/588\/2014\/11\/Courtney-Suzanne-Gene-Dear-Diary-My-Brother-Died-Today-PR-MFE-Final.pdf\">View Press Release<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>About the Author<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Suzanne Gene Courtney of Monroe, Michigan, wrote this children\u2019s story to fulfill a need.
