The mountains of Tibet by Mordicai Gerstein

The mountains of Tibet: a child's journey through living and dying by Mordicai Gerstein. Barefoot Books, 1993.

Although the text is at a level understandable for a younger age group, the concepts considered are more appropriate for this group. This is a retelling of the Tibetan Buddhist teachings about death and reincarnation for children. It is beautifully illustrated and is a good introduction to the philosophies of Tibetan Buddhism and reincarnation.
