Each Little Bird That Sings

Written By: Deborah Wiles

Ten-year-old Comfort Snowberger knows a lot about death. Her family owns the community funeral home and she has attended 247 funerals. She can tell you lots about the place, which casseroles are good, whom to sit next to, and whom to avoid at all costs. So when Great-great-aunt Florentine drops dead, Comfort expects a family gathering to remember. This funeral is like no other, watching over her little cousin, Peach, the sniveling, whining, and unpredictable little boy. Her best friend also turns into a down right mean girl. Comfort only has the company of her dog, Dismay, through this horrible day... or so she thought.

This book is a book where you can celebrate but at the same time cry. It feels like your standing by Comfort through the treacherous times. THIS IS A MUST READ.

And it is included with the starting phrase....
"I come from a family with a lot of dead people."
