Buschelia, Leo. The Fall of Freddy the Leaf. New York: Slack Incorporated, 1982. ISBN:0-8050-7195-4. $10.17 hard back Explaining death to a child Explaining death to a child is not an easy task. The best book I have found for this is The Fall of Freddy the Leaf, by Leo Buschelia. I have found this book to have a very sound Catholic theology and an excellent pedagogy. I was introduced to it by excellent parents helping their children understand the death of their grandmother. (It works.)
