- Synopsis
- In this &“charming, warm-hearted, and funny&” picture book for adults, a workaholic grim reaper learns the importance of time off and self-care (NPR). Death never takes a day off. Until he gets a letter from the HR department insisting he use up his accrued vacation time, that is. In this humorous and heartfelt book from beloved illustrator Brian Rea, we take a peek at Death&’s journal entries as he documents his mandatory sabbatical in the world of the living. From skydiving to online dating, Death is determined to try it all! Death Wins a Goldfish is an important reminder to the overstressed, overworked, and overwhelmed that everyone—even Death—deserves a break once in a while. &“Death explores the magic and mundanity of life in this warmhearted vacation story . . . Rea&’s work is rendered in warm, friendly hues: lemon meringue roller coasters and coral-colored speedboats predominate. Undergirding these cheerful shades is an earnest appeal to that most human of questions: how should one live? The answer, Death finds, is by going out there and doing it.&” —Publishers Weekly &“A cheeky and charming and secretly profound variation on the &‘Death Takes a Holiday&’ motif.&” —LA Weekly &“Death Wins a Goldfish is not a book about death. It&’s a book about living.&” —Vanity Fair
