Máváme ti, dědo – Špinková Martina (2023)

A book about farewells, burials, and memories. The story of siblings Ferda and Františka invites us to important moments in our lives that children know and want to experience with their adults. They know how to say goodbye to grandpa with a camel in their pocket, remember him in play, wave to him. They want to celebrate with us, even if it is a sad celebration. We don't know how to handle children during farewells, dying, and burials. We ask: can we take them to grandpa when he's in the hospital? Should we take them to the funeral? Let's not ask and let them take us there instead. Or at least let's read this book with them when they bring it to us.
