A sensitive story about how to deal with the death of a classmate.

Brodie always made us laugh. He d wiggle his ears and yodel like a country singer. He was an awesome artist and drew heaps of planes and helicopters because he wanted to be a chopper pilot. We all knew Brodie was sick, but we never thought he d die.

Industry Reviews

Absolutely outstanding: a must. -- John McKenzie * Reading Time *
Highly recommended for all ages. -- Margaret Kedian * Magpies *
A lump-in-the-throat story about coming to terms with loss. -- Margie Thomson * New Zealand Herald *
Brodie is beautifully written, sensitively and imaginatively illustrated. It introduces the concept of death and rather than shy away from it, allows children to face it; to ask the myriad questions it presents. * Aussie Reviews *
...Brodie remains a powerful experience. * Magpies *
