Product Information

Kim: I wouldn’t give it to a child directly, I would give it through the parents because it’s quite deep and needs Fitzgerald's masterpiece—the quintessential Jazz Age novel—now in a hardcover Everyman's Library Contemporary Classics edition Explaining the topic of death in a way that is honest, lightly philosophical and with gentle humour, this enchanting book has been translated into multiple languages, adapted into an animated movie and short film and performed on stages worldwide. Esta pequeña historia tiene todo lo que un cuento necesita para robarme el corazón: ilustraciones sencillas pero delicadas, un argumento que, aún llendo al grano, encuentra espacio para pequeñas bromas y detalles exquisitos, personajes tiernos y entrañables pero sin rozar siquiera lo cursi, una historia que cabe en menos de 20 páginas pero te hace abrazar el libro al terminar y simplemente permanecer así durante 10 minutos, en silencio, pensando en por qué es tan simple y tan bueno al mismo tiempo... Overall, I thought this was a nice book about life and death. It is certainly something that can be used in a classroom or even in a family setting that is dealing with the passing of a loved one or in situations where students or children have questions about death. Like other books about death, such as City Dog, Country Frog (Mo Willems, 2010), the author uses the season as a symbol/stage of life, which is something good for young readers to be aware of and look for in future readings.

NL: Dit is zeker weten een van mijn favoriete prentenboeken. Het is kort, lief en de illustraties zijn prachtig. Ik denk dat dit boek enorm handig kan zijn als je aan een kind moet uitleggen dat iemand overleden is, of ze vragen hebben over de dood. Het boek voelt enorm vredig en dat lijkt mij de perfecte manier om dit natuurlijke proces uit te leggen zonder onnodige angst in te boezemen.From J.K. Rowling, a classic Hogwarts Library book, and the perfect addition to the bookshelf of every Harry Potter fan. Loved by adults and children, parents and grandparents, also suitable for schools, grief centres and counsellors Cuter as a child-narrated video, but the message is worthy enough to justify this less-evanescent medium. The puppetry is impeccable, with Wilson and McNeil sharing so deftly you would swear there was twice the number of puppeteers. The flow of the story is gentle and intriguing, and the New Entrant audience that filled Downstage the day I saw it was utterly entranced.

Most adults don’t know exactly how to breech the ominous subject of death with their children and often come up with a euphemistic metaphor that may far from adequately explain the end of life. So for a book to be able to offer children, and their parents, a clear and uncompromising view of death without being too scary or saccharine is a triumph.

Reviews

JANELLE: As we read and discussed this book in class, we all were cognizant of the fact we had begun April’s My Take/Your Take with a book on death — the Batchelder winner for 2017 entitled Cry, Heart, But Never Break (Ringtved, 2016). So comparisons were made across these two titles that each have a unique explanation for and about death and couch the message if sensitively told narrative. Since the U.S. doesn’t have many books that deal so boldly with sensitive issues, these books were intriguing, although the plan was not to focus on the issue of death but to tap into award winning books and their creators from different countries. just the other side of the coin. Hasn’t he got the most endearing face? Do you think of him as a he? Soft Philosophical" (ปรัชาสายนุ่มนวล) เป็นหนังสือที่บอกเล่าถึงสัจธรรมแห่งการจากลาและความตายได้อย่างอบอุ่นและอ่อนโยน ลายเส้นก็ดูสะอาดตา มีความละมุนและเรียบง่าย การออกแบบตัวละครก็ไม่ได้มีความซับซ้อนใดๆ โดยเฉพาะตัวละครที่ชื่อว่า "ความตาย" ที่ไม่ได้ดูน่าหวาดกลัวหวาดหวั่น กลับทำให้รู้สึก "ธรรมดา" เสียด้วยซ้ำ ราวกับผู้เขียนพยายามบอกว่า แท้จริงแล้ว ความตายไม่ได้หน้าตาน่ากลัวอย่างที่คิดด้วยซ้ำ Es un libro muy...lindo, pero que al llegar al final, como adulto, te deja una sensación de que aun queda algo más que decir, una palabra, una frase, un párrafo, un algo. Pero no, el cierre es tan abrupto como lo es la muerte misma. Aunque tiene un mensaje muy poderoso; la muerte siempre esta ahí y debemos aceptarla, abrazarla y vivir con ella.

Non riporto mai, qui, gli albi illustrati che leggo per lavoro. Questo profilo si riempirebbe di consigli di lettura che non interesserebbero a nessuno e probabilmente non avrei neppure il tempo di starci dietro davvero - tolto che, il tutto, il più delle volte, si risolverebbe in una rapida attribuzione di stelline giacché per sopravvivere ai costi della vita "vera" devono catalogarne di decine alla volta.

I’ve also used the book in philosophy sessions with fourth and fifth grade students, and it’s led to some thoughtful exchanges about life and death, what it means to be mortal, and whether anything ever really dies.
