In the book he is spending time with his great grandson and reminding him how bravery and courage are two of his greatest assets. He lets readers know that "its okay" to feel sad at times. Through illustrations and lyrics that rhyme, he leaves a legacy of love for his family and others. In the face of his illness, he is determined to find a way to allow others to honor him through his life lessons. He decides to share his Papa stories as way for his great-grandchildren to remember him as they grow. An honest and relatable depiction of life, Papas Scooter, a legacy of love celebrates life and the ways in which love lives on. This book gives cancer patients and families hope reminds us that each day brings new healing. The grandfather even references his place of birth "Puerto Rico" although he resides in the United States. The book was written by the daughter of the main character in his honor.

Описание: Distinguished Austrian sociologist Reinhold Knoll's letters to his grandchildren, written daily during the Covid-19 pandemic, evolved into an obituary of European culture, politics, and society. They also embody a gesture of thanks to the United States, which took a different path from Europe and then saved it in World War I and World War II.Like Beethoven's piano sonatas, some of Professor Knoll's letters are light and humorous while others plumb the depths of the human psyche. But each brings the past into the present, often enhanced by Viennese ironic wit, with recondite and penetrating observations on enlightenment and revolution, art and music, social thought, the devolution of the museum, the status of the church, migration, fashions in pedagogy, and the role of technology in society. This is the remarkable work of a balanced conscience in troubled times.America owes most of its cultural and spiritual traditions to the erstwhile European stewardship of a legacy that goes back to Athens, Jerusalem, and Rome – the subject, verb, and predicate of our human story, – though Europe now finds itself in a crisis of confidence with profound warnings for the American reader.
