  • Life and I : A Story About Death

    Marine Schneider Elisabeth Helland Larsen

    Hardcover (Die Gestalten Verlag, Aug. 16, 2016)
    This sensitively-told story for readers of all ages illustrates the inseparability of life and death.Rosy-cheeked and wrapped in blue, with a flower in her hair, Death rides a pink bike. Death, a greeneyed little girl in this pastel world, visits small animals with soft fur and big animals with sharp teeth. She lingers with a kindly grandmother as they knit one last scarf together. She wanders through surroundings of gentle beauty and she tells us who she is.For parents of children facing the loss of a family member, a friend, or a pet, this book finds words to express what is often so difficult to explain. It ends with such a feeling of uplift and acceptance that readers of any age will turn the last page with a smile and a tear. Author Elisabeth Helland Larsen and illustrator Marine Schneider weave a tapestry out of direct, poetic words and handdrawn pictures to give voice to emotions that are moving, real, and most of all, honest.

    Wednesday-Paperworks

    Hardcover (Gestalten, Oct. 25, 2014)
    Kids can never have enough friends in elementary school, but will they be able to remember them and what they meant to them? Thanks to this friendship book, they will. Back in the day, children often kept a scrapbook for their friends to write poetry in to always remember them by. Today's answer to that lovely old-fashioned tradition is this friendship book. Designed for kids of elementary school age, boys and girls can pass this book around to all of their friends so that they can each leave a personalized entry. The pages allow plenty of room for leaving a note, photos, a drawing, or any other quirky detail that can be imagined. For kids who need creative inspiration for their entries, this friendship book includes a selection of cool stickers at the back, some of which feature neon colors or glow in the dark. These stickers are meant to serve as icons to represent various aspects of the kids' lives. The meaning of each of these icons is explained in an appendix that is translated into 20 languages to give almost anyone in the world the chance to use the book while highlighting the universal value of friendship. The Book of Friendscomes in two different cover versions.
