In the past, when grandma was still there, we went to the zoo and read bedtime stories. But as she got older, she became weaker and weaker and was no longer able to do all those things. And then? What happened next? What do I feel? What am I allowed to feel? Through its simple illustrations, „Without Grandma“ leaves a lot of room for your own imagination and feelings.

Where does the moon go when you can’t see it anymore? Why does Klara look so serious? Lars is sensitive, he perceives a lot of things and thinks many clever thoughts. Sometimes he sees, hears, smells and senses so much at once that he feels quite uncomfortable. For example, when it’s particularly noisy in the kindergarten or the finger paints stick to his hands. Why is he like that?

This insightfully illustrated children‘s book shows how it feels to be highly sensitive and gives suggestions on how to deal with it.

Parents are all the same …?

Even on a farm you can argue about it: Are a father and a child already a family? Or can two mothers and a boy also be a family? What is normal for Mika seems quite strange to Ida. But the donkey spook they experience together unites them, as does the amazement of their parents at a bit of adventure dust. In that parents are all the same after all.

Finally, a children‘s book that illustrates the diversity of family constellations and is a great help for parents and pedagogues. The main point of this book: family is defined by the feeling of belonging together, not by the composition of its individual members.
