A last goodbye is about how species all over the planet express grief and care for each other at the end of life. For some is small offerings and quiet observations. A delicate, spare, and very touching picture book that addresses the way that some social animals (and by extension, humans) care for their dying loved ones, Kelsey’s text grew out of an encounter with a school child whose dog had recently died. “You have to stay with them and comfort them if you can,” said the little girl to the author. “They are part of your family.” Kelsey’s words and Soyeon Kim’s gentle art show elephants, chimpanzees, and orcas and other animals caring for family members whose lives are ending. Their bodies will return to the earth or the water, nourishing new life. As well as alluding to the natural cycles of life and death, the book delicately acknowledges the pain of grief and loss, ending on a hopeful note about the joy of having known and shared time with another beloved being. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

"This book explores the death of a loved one through the parallel experiences of other species of animals, similar to Elin's treatment of nature in You Are Stardust and problem-solving in Wild Ideas. As with Elin's previous picture books, A Last Goodbye will combine simple, poetic text with a "big idea"--in this case, the idea that death is a natural part of our lives and that many species experience sadness and mourning when their loved ones are sick and dying. From elephants to killer whales, parrots to bonobos, lemurs to humans, many animals have rituals to commemorate their loved ones and to help them through difficult times. This book broaches a difficult and scary topic through a gentle and heartfelt exploration of the natural stages of life and loss. In a parallel way to how we will be remembered by our loved ones, the book goes on to explore the ways our bodies might be remembered by the earth, repurposed to continue replenishing new life."-- Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |
