      Ein Trostbuch über Trauer und den Kreislauf des Lebens

      Eines Tages bekommt Emilia von ihrem Großvater ein ganz besonderes Geschenk: eine Walnuss. Nur mit so einer Nuss in der Tasche und einem kleinen Koffer reiste ihr Opa einst übers Meer in ein neues, unbekanntes Land. Inzwischen ist daraus der große Baum in Großvaters Garten geworden, der ihn an seine Heimat erinnert. Gemeinsam staunen sie, wie auch aus Emilias Walnuss nach und nach ein Bäumchen wird. Doch während es in seinem Topf auf der Fensterbank wächst und gedeiht, wird ihr Großvater zusehends schwächer – bis sie sich eines Tages von ihm verabschieden muss. Emilias Bäumchen sieht so traurig aus, wie sie sich fühlt … doch sie weiß, was sie zu tun hat. Einfühlsam erzählt dieses Buch vom Kreislauf des Lebens und davon, dass alle guten Dinge Zeit zum Wachsen brauchen. Es erinnert daran, dass geliebte Menschen stets ein Teil von uns bleiben, selbst wenn sie nicht mehr da sind.

    • "Did you know studies have shown that too many fidget spinners spinning in the same direction can potentially have adverse effects on the earth's magnetic field? Or that there's a company that can turn your deceased loved one's remains into a diamond? Or that the loudest sound in history was made by the eruption of a volcano in 1883, whose echoing blast circled the planet twice? Every story in this book is strange and astounding, but one out of every three is an outright lie. Picking out the fakes isn't as easy as you think, however. Some false stories are based on truth, and some of the true stories are just plain unbelievable! Don't be fooled by the photos that accompany each story -- it's going to take all your smarts and some clever research to ferret out the truth.

Just don't believe everything you read..." -- (Source of summary not specified.)
