The magic of Life 

All witches have a pet as a partner in their spells. Silvia has a kitten who is so special that her name is Life. One day, Life slept and never woke up again. Silvia can’t understand what happened. With magic letters and enchanted candies, Silvia gets the help of Miss Death and her loving Grandma Funeralia to rescue her kitten. Written by Marcos Martinz, author of Until Death Shelters Us, and illustrated by Isabella Pedrão, The Magic of Life shows, in a way that is easy to understand for all ages, the importance of memory, the need to deal with grief, and the magic of feeling life.
