"I have a dreadful time with some of the books Freya brings home from infant school. The worst one, which she has brought home twice, is called 'Badger's Parting Gifts' or something like that - in which Badger dies and all his friends are very very sad but then they start to remember all the good things he taught them. I really struggled to keep my composure during that, and had to go out of the room for a sniffle once we'd finished!"
A friend bought us this book when my husband died (my children were then 4 and not quite 2). It was so beautiful, but I STILL cannot get through it with out tears, but my kids say that is part of the beauty of the book. They can cry with Badger's friends, but then see what he left them and things are OK!
