The gently told story revolves around the friendship of the old Aunt Sofia with Franziska and Fabian. In their conversations, the children learn a lot about Aunt Sofia's ideas and hopes, as well as her belief that the dead are close to God just like the living. When Aunt Sofia passes away, the children, despite their sorrow, are prepared. This little book is excellent for initiating discussions about dying and death. It provides both children and adults the opportunity to express their own thoughts and feelings, as well as their questions and fears, and offers support for coping with grief when the serious situation has already occurred.
