Death in children’s literature has changed over the course of history as both the average lifespan has increased and society’s morals and beliefs and conceptions of children have changed. ==Early history== Until about the 17th century, there was very little literature written specifically for children.〔Butler, Francelia. (1972) Death in Children’s Literature. ''Children’s Literature'' v.1(1), 104-124.〕 Oral storytelling and music accepted death as a matter-of-fact for both children and adults alike.〔 Since mortality rates for children were much higher then, the subject was not taboo. The restoration of life, life as a preparation for death, death as a form of sleep, immortality, animals sacrificing themselves for humans, love as a conqueror of death, and inanimate objects that come to life were all common themes.〔 Examples of the changing approach to death include: ''The Juniper Tree'' by the Brothers Grimm, in which a boy is murdered by his stepmother, but comes back as a bird and kills the stepmother. The bird then turns back into a boy and is reunited with his father and sister. The stepmother, though, does not come back to life.〔
