Dying to Ask: 38 Questions From Kids About Death

《渴望提問：關於死亡的38個問題》

兩位作家和一位插畫家走進一本書，發現自己得面對五到十五歲孩子們提出的三十八個關於死亡的問題，他們將如何回答？
這本書是《渴望提問》的成果，源自一個國際項目，邀請孩子們根據一系列工作坊提問關於死亡的問題。結果呢？數百個問題從世界各地傳來。

書中收錄了三十八個最能代表孩子們對死亡及相關事物的廣泛興趣的問題，並配有心理學和科學的支持。這本插圖書思考深邃、溫柔而意外地充滿喜悅，邀請讀者談論、思考並進一步提問關於死亡的問題。
一些問題包括：我會死嗎？我們死後去哪裡？我們會不會有一天全部滅絕？如果你愛的人去世了，你會悲傷多久？為什麼人們說「安息」而不是「快樂安息」？

Two writers and an illustrator walk into a book and find themselves with thirty-eight questions about death asked by boys and girls between five and fifften years old. How and what will they answer?

For mortal beings of all ages comes Dying to Ask, the result of an international project where children were invited to ask questions about death based on a series of workshops. The result? Hundreds of questions from countries all over the world.

Herein lies thirty-eight questions that best represented the breadth and depth of children’s interest in death and related matters, complete with psychological and scientific proofing. Thoughtful, tender, and surprisingly joyful, this illustrated book is an invitation to talk, think, and ask further questions about death.

Some of the questions: Will I die? Where do we go when we die? Will we all become extinct one day? If someone you love dies, how long are you sad for? Why do people say “rest in peace” rather than “rest in fun?”
