New Releases by Wolf Erlbruch

Do premiado autor e ilustrador alemão Wolf Erlbruch, uma história sobre perda e luto que se tornou um dos grandes clássicos da literatura infantil mundial. Um dia, o pato se dá conta da presença da morte logo atrás dele — e tem certeza de que a sua hora chegou. Mas as coisas tomam um rumo inesperado, e os dois começam a passar um tempo juntos. Com o pato, a morte desfruta um pouco da vida: eles dão mergulhos no lago, tiram longas sonecas e sobem na copa das árvores. A partir dessa amizade inusitada, esta obra-prima da literatura infantil nos convida a refletir sobre o fim da vida e os momentos que o rodeiam — que podem ser tão delicados quanto uma tulipa. “É difícil descrever como este livro extraordinariamente terno consegue ser ao mesmo tempo dolorido e reconfortante, mas é o que ele é.” — The New York Times Indicado para leitores a partir dos 6 anos.

From award-winning author and illustrator, Wolf Erlbruch, comes one of the world's best children's books about grief and loss. Voted one of the 100 greatest children's books of all time by the BBC. 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. “I’m cold,” she said one evening. “Will you warm me a little?” Snowflakes drifted down. Something had happened. Death looked at the duck. She’d stopped breathing. She lay quite still. Explaining the topic of death in a way that is honest, lightly philosophical and with gentle humor, this enchanting book has been translated into multiple languages, adapted into an animated movie and short film and performed on stages worldwide. Wolf Erlbruch received the Hans Christian Andersen Medal in 2006 and was the winner of the Astrid Lindgren Memorial Award in 2017. Tender and direct, this is an excellent tool for helping to explain and talk about death, dying and bereavement with children Loved by adults and children, parents and grandparents, also suitable for schools, grief centers and counsellors Praise for Duck, Death and the Tulip “The gold standard of picture books about death is Duck, Death and the Tulip...It’s hard to describe how this extraordinarily tender book manages to be both heartbreaking and comforting, but it does."—The New York Times "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 "The most moving book I’ve read this year is the German picture book Duck, Death and The Tulip by Wolf Erlbruch, about the strange, uneasy friendship."—Meg Rosoff, The Financial Times “The German children's book author and illustrator Wolf Erlbruch offers a wonderfully warm and assuring answer in Duck, Death and the Tulip - a marvelous addition to the handful of intelligent and imaginative children's books about death and loss.”—Maria Popova, Brainpickings “Duck, Death and the Tulip by Wolf Erlbruch is a superb picture book from Germany, that tells a gentle story of the relationship between Death and a duck. Death is portrayed as a sympathetic figure in a dressing gown who is with us all the time, but who only comes into Duck’s consciousness towards the end of his life. It is warm, poignant and witty.”—Anthony Browne, The Guardian

Voici l'Ours qui n'était pas encore vraiment là. Il sortit de sa poche un morceau de papier où il était écrit : "Es-tu bien moi" ? Bonne question, se dit-il, et il se mit en route !

La 4e de couverture indique : "L'amour en poésie, mais pas seulement... "

Was Liebe ist, ist schwer zu sagen. Nur soviel scheint klar: irgendwas mit Küssen und so. Zwei, die sich lieben jedenfalls ist ein kleines Buch für alle, die sich ihre Gedankenmachen über die Liebe. Darüber, wer wen küssen will und darf und sogar soll. Über das Davor und das Danach. Das Sehnen, das Finden, Geniessen und Abschied nehmen. Wolf Erlbruch interessiert sich schon lange für solche Sachen und hat uns mit vielen Bildern erstaunlicher Paare beglückt. Jürg Schubiger hat jetzt - mit offensichtlichem Vergnügen - Verse zu Erlbruchs Bildern gefunden und zusammen vermitteln die beiden doch eine sehr optimistische Sicht: Insgesamt ist sie mehr schön als schwer, die Liebe. Und das Küssen sowieso. (Verlagstext).

Billedbog. And møder Døden, og får ham som følgesvend. Døden er faktisk rigtig venlig. And hjælper Døden, da han fryser, og Døden hjælper And i den allersidste kulde

Em sua obra-prima - 'Fausto' -, o mestre alemão J.W. Goethe propõe uma cena inusitada - enquanto prepara a poção da juventude para o doutor Fausto, a bruxa entoa uma tabuada sem pé nem cabeça. Uma forma divertida - e um tanto maluca - de se apresentar os números. Após 150 anos, o ilustrador Wolf Erlbruch - vencedor do prêmio Hans Christian Andersen 2006 - resolveu contar, à sua maneira, esta tabuada às avessas. Por meio da ilustração, criou para cada verso uma historieta, uma leitura livre e lúdica da obra. Ao que tudo indica, foi buscar ajuda no chapéu do feiticeiro, e tirou dele um coelho que percorrerá todo o livro em busca do número mágico.

A child on their 5th birthday asks why are we here, and receives answers from all different sources.

Los niños están llenos de preguntas. Pero hay una pregunta, la más grande, para la cual no es fácil encontrar respuesta. El gato, la abuela, la piedra, el jardinero, el conejo, el perro, la mamá. Todos aportan una respuesta posible, pero cada niño cuando crezca, tendrá que hallar la suya propia.

A little child asks the "big question" (grande question) that is never formulated: why are we on earth? and get answers from different people

Un hombre va a la montaña a cazar un pájaro para tenerlo en su casa. Encuentra un aguilucho, que cría en el corral de las gallinas como una más. Al cabo de unos años, se presenta un sabio y, al ver al águila, le indica que aquel pájaro no es una gallina, que es un águila. El hombre le contesta que sí, que es un águila, pero que su comportamiento es el de una gallina porque ha sido criada como tal. El sabio le propone poner a prueba al águila para demostrarle que está equivocado. Intento que fracasa varias veces, hasta que, en la última prueba, en la montaña y mirando al sol, el águila se reconoce a sí misma, elevándose majestuosa en el cielo para no regresar jamás. La historia fue escrita por James Aggrey (Ghana), fallecido en 1927, y para Wolf Erlbruch significó no solamente su primer libro infantil ilustrado, sino también un reconocimiento generalizado de la crítica. Wolf Erlbruch ha recibido el Premio Hans Christian Andersen 2006

Voilà un livre insolite ! Les textes et les images de cet abécédaire proposent un cheminement initiatique dont les vingt-six étapes sont autant d'invitations sensuelles à penser le monde et l'existence, entre imagination et poésie naïve et philosophie concrète. Fidèles à l'esprit des gravures originales du grand classique de Karl Philipp Moritz publié en 1790, les images de cette édition ont été créées par Wolf Erlbruch. Elles donnent un éclairage puissant teinté de tendres impertinences à l'œuvre du pédagogue qui fut l'un des premiers à prendre en compte l'importance conjointe de la prime enfance et de la lecture dans le destin de chacun. Petites et grandes personnes prendront plaisir à voyager en le compagnie de ces deux créateurs qui, à plus de deux siècles d'écart, vont d'un même pas.

Op 'n helder, sonnige môre tref 'n katastrofe die molletjie. Iets wat soos 'n wors lyk, val reg bo-op sy kop! Hoe absoluut gemeen! dink die molletjie, en hoogs ontstoke ondervra hy dier na dier om uit te vind wie op sy kop ... gedinges het. Die molletjie se soektog is 'n prettige en tegelyk informatiewe ontdekking van 'n soms afgeskeepte maar baie belangrike en natuurlike aspek van die dierelewe. 'n Plesierige speurtog wat groot byval by kinders behoort te vind.
