Where do people and animals go when they die? And what happens to their bodies? The children's book ‘Anton, Heaven and the Ocean’ (US Edition) describes the loss of a beloved pet and tries to find answers to the questions above. Child friendly language and positive imagery help children to explore the topic of death.
Disease, the process of dying and death are generally taboo in our society. However, they are an intrinsic part of life. Sooner or later we all have to say goodbye – to a pet, a family member, or a close friend. This story aims to help through such an experience. It offers parents and other interested readers ideas how to explain loss and death in a way appropriate for children, and shows how such loss can be processed within the family.

...or How Anton Met Grandpa Willy Again
Anton was a dog, that is to say a small Labrador cross. Her black coat became greyer and greyer through the years until her muzzle was almost white as snow. Anton was actually a girl dog, but the old man who owned her first did not know that and gave her this name, which she kept all her life. It was a beautiful name after all.
„This story, and through it, the emotional processing of what had happened, helped my family to integrate a challenging and difficult matter into our everyday life.“
