"About reincarnation; a good UU or Hindu (I think) read to cope with the death of a loved one (including animals). Much less childish than the other ones I read--definitely not just a children's book."
"This picture book with enchanting illustrations is about a woodcutter who wants to see the world, but is tied down to his work and family. When he dies, he is offered a chance to live again, so that he could have a chance to go beyond the mountains. Much like middle grade students are, the woodcutter is given several choices to make in his second chance at life. The imagery in both the text and the illustrations are equally appealing."
