Ricky is saddened and confused when he discovers a cold, unmoving squirrel in the forest. When Ricky brings the squirrel to his mother to see if she can fix it, she explains to him that the squirrel is dead and that he no longer feels any pain. After his parents help him bury the squirrel, Ricky is delighted to see another squirrel playing in a nearby tree. With warm and poignant illustrations, this sympathetic and tender tale communicates clear and reasonable answers to firsttime questions about a difficult subject matter.
