is the book 'the old pig' or 'lifetimes' religious at all? i would like to explain more about death to ds1 as he is very interested in it and asks me questions about it all the time but would prefer a non-religious viewpoint.
Lifetimes is not religious at all, it just explains that birth, life and death are all a natural part of life - it doesn't say what happens when you die, or where you go or anything, just that everything has a lifetime.

I work as a psychologist with children and find it's a great resource in my schools to explain death simply.
