Das Leben ist wunderschön, in guten und in schlechten Zeiten. Cynthia Rylant erzählt aus der Sicht von Tieren, was Leben für sie bedeutet. Mal birgt es Gefahren und man muss lernen, mit Widrigkeiten umzugehen, mal erscheint es behaglich und sicher - und immer ist es lebenswert. Brendan Wenzel hat für Cynthia Rylants philosophische Gedanken opulente Bildwelten mit atemberaubenden Landschaften und einnehmenden Tierbildern geschaffen. Brendan Wenzel wurde für sein jüngstes Buch in die Ehrenliste der Caldecott-Medaille 2017 aufgenommen. Mit »Leben« stellen wir diesen neuen Stern am amerikanischen Illustratorenhimmel erstmals dem deutschsprachigen Publikum vor.

an amazing year Ellie Farley''s father, Okey, drinks too much, mostly because he hasn''t been able to work since he was injured in a mining accident. He hasn''t been able to hunt, either, so it''s strange when he brings home a hunting dog, a beagle named Bullet. But Bullet is only the first odd thing that happens to Ellie the year she''s eleven. She sees a favorite uncle go off to war; a boy in her class has a fit in the middle of geography and another is accidentally killed while target shooting; and Okey drives his Chevy pickup off the mountain, with near-tragic consequences. But still Ellie manages the ordinary pleasures of making a best friend and getting kissed for the first time -- it''s no wonder she confides to Bullet on her twelfth birthday, "Some year."
