Grandpa's Angel
In GRANDPA'S ANGEL, a small boy says goodbye to his dying grandpa. Grandpa tells him how he got to be so old. Because, you see, he had his own grandfather's guardian angel always by his side, watching over him. At the end of the story, the boy is also accompanied by an angel, Grandpa's angel, and can look forward to a long, happy, and eventful life with his protection!
Since its appearance 20 years ago, we've sold rights for GRANDPA'S ANGEL into countless languages. The book itself has never fallen out of favor, and not only in Germany has it become an indispensable book on the subject of mourning and saying goodbye. Poetic and sensitive.
