Children may identify with Nym, who grieves the loss of her friend, and find it easier to express their unique feelings about a loss after hearing the story. The book may serve many purposes, such as comforting a grieving child or providing facts about dragonflies. Beautifully illustrated, it is cherished by parents, grandparents, and teachers.

"The warm, emotional colors . . . illustrate this highly recommended picturebook for sharing the bittersweet realities of life with young people."

"[The Dragonfly Door] should be quite helpful in providing support for a child who has experienced a loss similar to that of Nym. It is a somewhat sad but truly hopeful story that I rate as excellent."
