      My brother, Jonathan, knew that I was going to die. 'How can things be so terrible,' I asked. 'That some people have to die, when they're not even ten years old?' 'I don't think it's that terrible,' said Jonathan. 'I think you'll have a marvellous time.' A tender story of courage, love, and life after death.

      Je to s Lassem trápení! Je mu už pět let, ale každý večer zlobí maminku: „Já ještě nechci jít spát!“ Jednou se Lasse zdrží na návštěvě u tety Lotty až do tmy, a ona mu půjčí podivuhodné brýle. Těmi je vidět daleko do mnoha zvířecích pelíšků. A Lasse se dívá, jak se k spánku ukládají ptáčata, králíčci, veverky, myšák i medvědí kluk. Jestlipak také povykují, pořádají polštářové války, či se loudají do postýlek? Co myslíte?
