..".Larsen makes sense of the inevitable: "If I were to disappear, who would make way for all yet to be born," Death wonders. (Rosie Hedger's seamless translation from the Norwegian is a tour de force.)"

"If it is possible for a book to be both lovely and haunting, this is the one. The prose is quiet, matter-of-fact, and wistful enough to bring a hush to the reader's inner soul. But it is also comforting and reassuring as it explains the process of death and how those who take that lonely walk are never alone because Death is right there with them. Perhaps the most hopeful part of the book is when Death explains that 'Life and I live together in every body.' . . . Illustrator Marine Schneider's skill and sensitivity shine in this book. . . when the time comes that death must be discussed with your little one, introducing this lovely book is probably the very best way to begin."
