A few months ago dd1 borrowed 'No Matter What' by Debi Gliori from the library. We both enjoyed it and I was very moved by the part where the baby fox asks his Mum "What about when we're dead and gone? Will you love me then, does love go on?" and she takes him to look at the night sky and says "Look at those stars, how they shine and glow, but some of those stars died a long time ago. Still they shine in the evening skies. Love, like starlight, never dies." Those lines gave me tears in my eyes and a lump in the throat every time.
Last week we went back to the library and saw the same book, though this time it was the board book version instead of paperback. DD1 wanted to borrow it again. When the time came to read it, I found that the words are different and instead of the lines quoted above it just says something to the effect of "The stars always shine to remind you I'll always love you." with no mention of death.
Now I'm wondering if the boardbook version is different from the paperback version because they don't want to mention death in a boardbook. Or have they bowed to censorship and was the version that mentioned death an earlier edition?
If anyone has this book, I'd be interested to know what version you have!
