Badger is so old that he knows he will soon die. He tries to prepare his friends for this event, but he does die, they are still grief-stricken. Gradually they come to terms with their grief by remembering all the practical things Badger taught them, and so Badger lives on in his friends' memories of him.

I bow down to this one. It left me with a lump in the throat, and I would have no qualms at all about recommending it to any child. Tender, poignant, touching. Good book. -- Martin Waddell * Irish News *
Varley's text is sensitive, comforting, gentle. This is one sensible and honest approach to death for the young. -- Elaine Moss * T. L. S. *
Beautifully detailed ink and watercolour illustrations carry the reader right into the heart of this story * Carousel *
[One of] the best children’s books for help during hard times… Badger’s Parting Gifts has helped millions of children understand death * The Sun *
