Can anyone recommend a book for young children that talks about death

DS (almost 4yo)recently started asking questions about my mom who passed away before he was born. He knows who she is because of pictures. A few weeks ago he starts saying he saw grandma xxx when he was two. I said no you didn't. But he kept insisting. I let it go but he told me the same story several more times.
We finally talked about how she is in heaven. He asked if that meant she was dead and I said yes. He asked why and I said well she was very sick and old(she was only 56 but I didn't want to worry him) He then asked if he will die. I explained that everyone dies eventually. He got very upset and said "I don't want to die" so I told him don't worry it won't be til he's like 100 (a huge number for him).
Since them he's gotten very upset about dying and suing "I don't want to die" he even asked me what will happen to his room and playroom if he and his sister die


I don't know how to make him not worry about this.
I'm hoping there's a book that can help me talk this out with him.
If you've felt with something similar please share what you've done.

Thank if you've made it this far.

My friend recently had to deal with this when her DD classmate passed away The book her school recommended was: When Dinosaurs Die: A Guide to Understanding Death (Dino Life Guides for Families) I think it is like $7 on amazon.
