Description
From the author and illustrator behind the acclaimed Moth, a scientific look at the circle of life.
In the frost-covered forest of early spring, fox is on a mission to find food for her three cubs. As they grow, she teaches them how to survive in the wild. Until one day, fox dies. Her body goes back to earth and grass and air, nourishing the world around her and bringing the forest to life. Death is not just an end, it's also a beginning.
With gorgeous illustrations and lyrical, kid-friendly text, Fox: A Circle of Life Story answers the big scientific question: What happens when animals die?

The story, warmly illustrated by Daniel Egneus, not only teaches the biology of death, decomposition, and renewal but may provide solace to children affected by death or dying.

Thomas's direct language, with just the right degree of poetic resonance, pairs powerfully with Egnéus's atmospheric images; this is the perfect book for talking to children about death.
