Les derniers moments de grand-papa

Grandad is sick. He loses parts of himself. Little by little, his body abandons him because of the sickness that no one can heal. So, Grandad made an important decision: he prefers leaving while we can say "I love you".

Through this story, Yvan DeMuy talks about medical assistance in dying. The young narrator tells her grandfather's sickness, his reflections about life and death, and the moment he goes calmly. Janou-Ève LeGuerrier creates a poetic universe depicting a symbolic "elsewhere", comforting, full of houses held by birds. Here's a book full of sensitivity that aims to highlight those who receive medical assistance in dying and their loved ones.
