Beginnings and Endings with Lifetimes in Between is a gentle and beautifully illustrated children’s book designed to help explain life and death in a clear and reassuring way.

Written by Bryan Mellonie and illustrated by acclaimed Australian artist Robert Ingpen, the book shows how all living things — people, animals, insects and plants — have beginnings, lifetimes and endings. It presents death as a natural part of the life cycle, whether it occurs through illness, accident or old age.

First published in 1983, the book has become a well-known resource for parents, carers and educators seeking a sensitive way to discuss death, grief and the natural cycle of life with children.
