Books for toddlers about death:The Dead Bird by Margaret Wise Brown (author of Goodnight Moon, Runaway Bunny and other classics) is out of print, but is available used. It is a very good introduction to death in the story of several children who find a dead bird. Their sadness is great at first, and they decide to bury the bird, decorate the grave, and say some final goodbyes. Tears are shed, but with time, their happiness returns and at the end, the dead bird is forgotten.
I Miss You is written for 4-7 year olds, but still appropriate to read through with the younger child. It explains death as no longer eating or breathing, that death is a natural part of life, and talks about the emotions we all have.

Thumpy’s Story in Spanish and English is a book about sibling loss for the 2-4 year old. Thumpy shares his sorrow and questions when his little sister dies.
