内容很温暖,纸张也很好,就是收到的时候,角上磨损得很厉害,九成新吧,不像新书
希望有中文译本。。。
In this beautifully illustrated picture book, four siblings have been lovingly cared for by their grandmother, but one day she receives a visitor: Death. Instead of having "a heart as dead and black as coal", it turns out Death is kindly, with a heart "red as the most beautiful sunset" and filled with a love of life. In an effort to help the children, he tells them a story about Sorrow and Grief, and how these two brothers end up marrying two sisters, Joy and Delight. The couples live and die together, for they cannot be without one another.
In the end, Death takes the grandmother, but the children remember his wise and beautiful words, "Cry heart, but never break." They live out their lives with good memories of their grandmother and what she meant to them.
I loved this book, and admit I cried like a baby when I read it the first time. Glenn Ringtved (a Danish author, this is the translation of the original book he wrote for his children about 15 years ago) has done a wonderful job crafting a story that deals with such a serious and sensitive topic. There's no shying away from the reality of the grandmother's death, and the sorrow it brings the children. But he also shows beautifully how death is not a monster, but a natural part of life, and how our hearts can bear up under the weight of loss. Charlotte Pardi's illustrations are a perfect match.
Highly recommended.
PS I just love how the children keep giving Death cups of coffee to distract him :-)
the story line is well done, illustrations are as beautiful as one could make death i think.
it may seem creepy, but if death is going to come to your house anyway ~
i think this book can help your children understand that death is part of life
and be a help to explain that great grief comes only out of great love
and that they go together
and that that is ok.
we have had so much loss lately - both mine and my husband's fathers passed
within 6 months of each other
and right in the middle of the 6 months
we lost our precious granddaughter to SIDS at 67 days old.
now my mom lies in bed with hospice here
this book will help my kids i know
it helped me
If I wrote as much about this book as I'd like to, then my review would contain more words than the book.
I bought it on recommendation of a favorite blogger. I lost someone important to me a little over three years ago. It is a book I wish I'd had then when I was in the midst of my grief. That said, I shed some tears when I read it after it arrived, more than three years after my loss.
It is a poignant look at dying and grieving. It will be useful for adults as well as children. It is beautifully written -- simple, elegant. It is beautifully illustrated.
It is one of the books that I will keep forever and then my children will get it. They will keep it forever as well.
Favorite book of all time. Not only is it amazingly gentle with the subject of death, the illustrations are beautiful. As I recently lost my mom, I came upon an article on this book and knew I had to have it and even though (I guess) this book is for kids. The book continues to help me with the closure of my loss and I encourage everyone who is struggling with grief (how I am) to get this beautiful piece.
