Die Menschen fürchten über den Tod zu sprechen, insbesondere mit Kindern. Aber vor allem Kinder haben Fragen darüber, und diese unglaublich sanfte und leichte Geschichte ist voller Trost und „Antworten“.
Für Kinder ab 4 Jahren.
-----------------------
People fear death (apparently just a tiny bit less than public speaking). We don’t know how to talk about it, especially to children, and we’re afraid to bring it up for fear of making people sadder. Yet children, especially, have questions, and this incredibly gentle and surprisingly light story is full of both comfort and vividly imagined “answers.”
The first one gives the book its title: A boy hears the voice of his sister calling him one day, a sister he’s never met because she died before he was born. The sister in the faded photograph on the wall. So that night he asks his mother what death is like and she tells him, “It’s like dreaming, only bigger.” That’s lovely, but he still has questions, which it turns out his sister can answer! On a dreamy, carefree adventure they ride their bikes together, visiting places that were special to her when she was alive. And she talks to him in the older sister, teasing, straightforward, loving way that is exactly what he needs.
Much, much more than bibliotherapy, this is a work of art that speaks with honesty and tenderness about one of life’s great mysteries.
