Grandpa’s angel by Jutta Bauer

Grandpa’s angel by Jutta Bauer. Walker Books 2005. 

English translation of Opa’s engel

Grandpa tells the story of his charmed life – in the illustrations you can see the handiwork of his much-put-upon angel.  He is at the end of his life – which is shown in the illustration, and not the text. The grandson leaves the hospital, with Grandpa resting – and the angel follows. 
I love this book, but it doesn’t really deal with death or grief.
