The one and only word I could use to describe this book is absolutely beautiful. The story is openned by the first flight of Young Vulture with his Mother Vulture to discover the world. At first the Young Vulture didn't find out the meaning and the beauty of the death brought to natural and the Earth like the way his mother did. So she showed him little by little the changing and the meaning that even one death can change to this world. And the line that Mother Vulture talks to her son is so touching: "It is not just our bodies we leave behind when we die. We also leave leave our lesson and our love and our memories. [...] We leave them in our children and in our family and friends? You are already my green patch on earth, Young Vulture. And you will be forever..
Also the color of this book is so vibrant and bright which is suitable for young children to read. And the style of painting is super cute too. So I'd like to recommend this book so they can discover the beauty of life, the meaning of death and how the universe works in our circle of life.

Bercerita tentang seekor burung bangkai (vulture) yang bertualang bersama induknya. Induknya menjelaskan tentang siklus kehidupan, tentang hewan-hewan yang akan menjadi santapan hewan lainnya. Induknya mengatakan bahwa suatu kematian bisa menjadi indah.
Death is very difficult, and very sad. But it also beautiful
Buku cerita ini ingin menggambarkan suatu lingkaran kehidupan, seperti energi yang berubah bentuk dari satu wujud ke wujud lainnya. Bahwa kematian bisa membawa manfaat bagi yang lain.
