Grandfather fox died and Little Fox is sad.
“Where is Grandfather Fox now?” it asks. “Is he really in heaven? What does it look like up there? Is he okay? Does the Big Kind Fox in the sky know that Grandfather Fox can only eat soft food now? And that can’t see very well anymore? And that he loves to lie in the sun?”
As the animals in the forest console Little Fox, they offer surprising answers.
This brightly-illustrated, poetic picture book encourages reflection and dreams and as it explores what connects different religions. A sense of refuge, compassion and a tolerant understanding of the world are captured in this magical story that Brigitte Werner tells using poetry and humour in a meaningful way while Claudia Burmeister’s equally magical and thoughtful illustrations add an additional layer to the story.
