Katharina von der Gathen - Radishes from below - Family program

Is dying bad? Or can it also be beautiful? Why do we have to die - and what happens afterwards? This book carefully opens the door to a subject that many people are concerned about and often avoid. The book tells sensitively, honestly and with humor about death and the life around it - sometimes sad, sometimes surprisingly funny and always special and exciting.

A reading for the whole family - open, heartfelt and full of surprising insights into an often avoided topic. Illustrated by Anke Kuhl.

Nominated for the German Youth Literature Prize 2024 (non-fiction).

Katharina von der Gathen is a sex educator and author. Together with Anke Kuhl, she has already published several successful children's non-fiction books.
