Duck, Death and the Tulip |
| Author: Wolf Erlbruch |
| Illustrator: Wolf Erlbruch |

Duck, Death and the Tulip is now my favourite book of all time.
Kim Hill, Radio New Zealand, National, July 2008

Synopsis
In a strangely heart-warming story, a duck strikes up an unlikely friendship with Death.
“Who are you? Why are you creeping along behind me?”
“Good. You’ve finally noticed me,” said Death.
“I am Death.”
Duck was scared stiff. You could hardly blame her for that.
Death, Duck and the Tulip is the much anticipated translation of Wolf Erlbruch’s latest masterpiece.
Death, Duck and the Tulip will intrigue, haunt and enchant , children, teenagers and adults.
Simple, unusual, warm and witty — a picture book version of The Book Thief. This book deals with a difficult subject in a way that is elegant, straightforward, and thought-provoking.
