"The most extraordinary picture book I’ve seen in many a year. A duck becomes friends with Death, and it’s the most natural thing in the world. Trust me, adults get far more weirded out by this book than children ever do. Amazing." ~ Patrick Ness, Time Out London, June 2011
🇬🇧 Description:
In a curiously heart-warming and elegantly illustrated story, a duck strikes up an unlikely friendship with Death. Duck and Death play together and discuss big questions. Death, dressed in a dressing gown and slippers, is sympathetic and kind and will be duck’s companion until the end.
“Who are you? Why are you creeping along behind me?”
“Good. You’ve finally noticed me,” said Death.
“I am Death.”
Duck was scared stiff. You could hardly blame her for that.
Death, Duck and the Tulip will intrigue, haunt and enchant children, teenagers and adults.
Simple, unusual, warm and witty — a picture book version of The Book Thief. This book deals with a difficult subject in a way that is elegant, straightforward, and thought-provoking.
Reviews:
It’s hard to describe how this extraordinarily tender book manages to be both heartbreaking and comforting, but it does
~ New York Times (US)
"Duck, Death and the Tulip is a contemplative book, a lovely way to introduce the idea of Death as unfrightening yet pragmatic"
~The Lancet (US)
