Badger's Parting Gifts: A picture book to help children deal with death and grief
Susan Varley
Badger is so old that he knows he will soon die. He tries to prepare his friends for this event, but he does die, they are still grief-stricken. Gradually they come to terms with their grief by remembering all the practical things Badger taught them, and so Badger lives on in his friends' memories of him.

This was a very good book, it told me how even when someone had died I could still remember the things they helped me to do

It was amazing. Badger died and I liked it when badger didn't need his walking stick at the end and he could walk swiftly.

I read this with my mum because my Grandpa has died and it helped me understand. I liked the Mole because he reminded me of myself.
