Katharina von der Gathen: Radishes from below - Big break for teachers, parents and multipliers

Is dying bad? Can it also be beautiful? Why do we have to die at all? What happens then? Wouldn't it be much better to be immortal? And what is it actually like when you have to deal with death on a daily basis? With "Radieschen von unten - Das bunte Buch über den Tod für neugierige Kinder" (Klett Kinderbuch, 2023), author Katharina von der Gathen and illustrator Anke Kuhl gently open the door to a secret room. The world behind it is sometimes sad, sometimes even funny - and always special and exciting. Because it is not just a book about dying and death, but above all one about life.

The "Big Break" - our exchange that takes place three times a year - is aimed at all those who are enthusiastic about literature and its communication. Katharina von der Gathen presents the book nominated for the German Youth Literature Prize 2024 and joins the conversation.
