Nana Upstairs and Nana Downstairs, by Tomie dePaola


Synopsis: This autobiographical picture book was one of the first to introduce very young children to the concept of death. Although dePaola's book is a nostalgic tribute to his own family, its theme - that not only people but our love for them survives in our memories - is universally true and important.

Activity: Make and write a card for a family member/ loved one.
