Aunt Mary’s rose by Douglas Wood, illustrated by LeUyen Pham. Candlewick, 2010.
Although not explicitly about death, this is a beautiful book about family and contiguity. Based on the author’s family story, Aunt Mary’s rose has been tended for by generations of the family – through losses and deaths, hardships and happy times. The author’s note says that a cutting of the real rose grows in his garden, tended by his children.
