For readers of all ages, this sensitive story illustrates the indissolubility of life and death.

The pink-cheeked death wrapped in blue, with a flower in his hair, rides a pink bicycle. Death, the green-eyed girl in this pastel world, visits small animals with soft fur and large animals with sharp teeth. She stays with the kind grandmother as they make the last scarf together. He wanders around the environment of mild beauty and tells us who he is.

For parents of children facing the loss of a family member, friend or pet, this book has words to express what is often so difficult to explain. It ends up feeling so uplifted and accepted that readers of all ages turn the last page with a smile and a tear.

Author Elisabeth Helland Larsen and illustrator Marine Schneider weave a tapestry of direct, poetic words and hand-drawn images to express emotions that are moving, real and above all sincere.
