Siempre llega un momento en que el niño se pregunta sobre la muerte. Ingenuamente, con toda la naturalidad del mundo. Los padres lo saben, pero pocas veces tienen preparada una respuesta simple y convincente. El personaje de la muerte en este libro de Erlbruch es una acompañante silenciosa y leve como una pluma, siempre presente aunque no la percibamos: Desde hacía tiempo, el pato notaba algo extraño. -¿Quién eres? ¿Por qué me sigues tan de cerca y sin hacer ruido? La muerte le contestó: -Me alegro de que por fin me hayas visto. Soy la muerte. El pato se asustó. Quién no lo habría hecho. -¿Ya vienes a buscarme? -He estado cerca de ti desde el día en que naciste... por si acaso. -¿Por si acaso? -preguntó el pato. -Sí, por si te pasaba algo. Un resfriado serio, un accidente... ¡nunca se sabe! - Sí, nunca se sabe... pero si de algo podemos estar seguros es que Wolf Erlbruch responde con sencillez las grandes preguntas con la poesía de sus ilustraciones y de sus historias. Para niños y adultos.

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.
