Has anyone here ever heard of the book "The Magic Moth" by Virginia Lee? If so, do you have any information on it? I have been searching all over the internet for a review of the book or even some information but I can only find sites to buy it from.

A slightly dated book, but the lessons learned transcend the barriers of time. Maryanne, the middle of five children, has a heart defect and has been ill for a long time. She has been close to the youngest child, Mark-O, but is now too sick to tell him stories. When Maryanne dies the family is around her, and a moth hatches in her room at the exact moment of death. Mark-O thinks that the moth could be related to the death and draws a picture of the magic moth for the family to remember Maryanne. Mark-O and his mother talk about why Maryanne was born and the lessons she passed on http://www.librarything.com/work/844352 The 'Magic Moth' is a children's book about the death of a child. It is recommended for 8-10 year old or 10-12 year old. It is recommended for bereavement on other sites but this one was the only one I could find that told what it was about. It is not a professional review but does tell about the book. Another site that recommends it but no detail about the book http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/article/001909.htm
