Child's Eye View

Without a touch of sentimentality, Hill shows us the child's eye view of the grieving process and ends her story on a life-affirming note. Children and adults alike will appreciate this heart-warming book.

Insight into children's thinking.

Ever wonder how small children really think and talk when no grownups are around?The language found in The Bug Cemetery may give us an insight into the world of children as we read the book with them. It is direct, yet eloquent. The youngsters will take to it immediately, and their parents will find it thought-provoking on several levels.What a fine start for this new author! Let's hope we see more from her, and soon.
