I first glimpsed the beauty of this book in Brain Pickings, a weekly newsletter that comes into my inbox every Sunday morning with juicy articles about things that really matter. As a huge fan of children's literature, I was drawn to the message as well as the artwork, especially since I tend to prefer dark, edgy, even macabre stories that evoke more profound thoughts with a little humor mixed in. The character death is perfect: a bit dry, logical, but strangely cute and expressing humanity in a beautiful way. Duck is naive, innocent but trusting and honest. The interaction between them is heartfelt. This book is a wonderful perspective on death for anyone, young or old and I highly recommend it. It seems the hardcover version of this book is rather out of my grasp, but I'm happy to have the story, even if it is a paperback, it's a nice copy with sturdy pages and looks great on my coffee table.Read full review
