(2005)School of Social Work
- Abstract
- The purpose of this paper was to study how the death is described in some books for children and how the books may affect the readers. I chose five books where the leading character was a child who lost a close relative like a parent or a sibling. I asked the book questions like you would do at an interwiew.
The main questions were:
· What do the children think about the death?
· How does the child react when it finds out that a parent or a sibling is dead?
· What does the child think about seeing the dead person and how does it react at the funeral?
· From what or whom do they find the strength to move on?
· What support does the child have from people in the surroundings?
· How may the books affect the readers?

The results showed that the books give you an image close to the reality. The children had different ways to mourn. For the children it was important that they had support from people in the surroundings to move on. All the books had an happy end. (Less)
