This story was about a little girl who's best friend dies from drowning. As it goes through the story it is about the little girl asking if he will come back, if they can play, if he is cold, etc. It starts with his death, goes through to his funeral, and ends with the season after to kind of close.

This story is not one that I would not necessarily read to my students. I could see it being a book that a parent could read, and there are moments when it could be beneficial only in certain circumstances. A book that follows this style could be used when things happen that aren't easy to talk about. ( )

Elsa en Rune spelen bij het water. Als Elsa's handschoen in het water valt, rent ze naar huis om droge handschoenen te halen. Wanneer ze terugkomt bij het water, ziet ze Rune nergens. Hij is in het water gevallen.

De ontzetting, het verdriet en de verwerking van de dood van een vriendje zijn bijzonder gevoelig en eerlijk weergegeven.

Sara and Rune are best friends, even though Rune goes to school and Sara is too young. One day Sara and Rune play fishermen, but Rune falls into the water and drowns. The story includes Sara's questioning about Rune and death, and her parents' explanations.
