        The Snowflake Collector

        by Robert Schneider, Linda Wolfsgruber

        Wilson Bentley lives on a farm in the vastness of America with his older brother and his parents. The two boys are supposed to support their parents in their work and become good farmers. This leads to conflicts, because Wilson is a dreamy boy who spends a lot of time thinking and is fascinated by the little things in the world: the peculiarities of leaves, stones and snow crystals, which particularly fascinate him. It becomes the passion of his life to depict and preserve the delicate and fading crystals. Nobody in the area has any interest in Wilson’s eccentric ideas, people cannot follow his enthusiasm. When he gives a lecture in the village about his work and shows the photos of the crystals, he is met with a lack of understanding. But for Wilson's father, something fundamental changes that evening: He realizes the value he has ignored so far.

        Leni, Pig and the other One

        by Helga Bansch

        Everybody focuses on the other one since he was born. The parents constantly have to take care of him and therefore they have very little time for Leni. She would like to exchange the new brother because he is too small to play with and one can’t do much else with him either. It is a good thing that Leni has Pig, who holds her ears shut when the little one cries and her nose when he stinks. Pig listens to Leni's stories and travels with her to foreign countries. When Leni makes a bold parachute jump from the tree and sprains her ankle, she must not get up for a while. So Pig plays “pulling faces” with her. The other one lies in his cot beside them and actually pretends to participate. Maybe his time will come?

        Mr Crow Has to Go to His Wife

        by Rachel van Kooij

        Leo is 17 and Max's big brother. Leo lives in a "limited universe," as Max calls it, so Max has to keep an eye on him. Leo and Max are at home alone when a raven bangs against the windowpane and lies on the ground half dead. He's ringed, so Max can find out where he's from. Leo is convinced that the ring is a wedding ring and Mr. Crow has to go back to his wife to get better. Whenever Leo is convinced of something, nothing and nobody can stop him. He sets off to bring Mr. Crow back to the Raven Research Station, and Max has to come with him whether he likes it or not. It takes a whole day to get there. On their trail they leave: a fake car mechanic, a totalled lawnmower tractor, two Vikings, a cow with a handcart, an ice cream truck, a broken raft, God, once nearly drowning, a quad and a helpful student.

        by Albert Wendt

        On the roof of the house crooked street 7 two birches magically grow from a piece of moss. And as something is already there, almost by itself more comes: slowly a real roof garden emerges. Henne, a roofer who has a screw loose, and Henrike, a twelve-year-old girl, drag earth, bring plants, nourish and cherish the small piece of green. They are supported by two chimney sweeps, a mysterious giant with an iron hand, a rooftop walker, Henrike’s teacher and all sorts of mystic forces. Duck Ilse builds a nest and hatches her chicks. Everything seems peaceful, but appearances are deceptive – in the background Mrs Hux tries to chase away the people from the roof and to re-establish order. She nearly succeeds – but where many good forces cooperate, malice has no power.

        Timid Rabbit

        by Heinz Janisch, Helga Bansch

        Geese, donkeys, rabbits ... many animals have to serve to attribute negative characteristics to people. The rabbits have decided that this has to change. In the international rabbits’ headquarter a plenary assembly takes place. The rabbits no longer want to accept that children are called timid rabbits. This is due to a completely wrong assessment of the extraordinary abilities of rabbits: rabbits are clever, sensitive and brave. And they are quick, but not out of fear, but because they are courageous. After this has finally been stated openly, the next step comes almost automatically: Children with characteristics similar to those of rabbits are to be awarded the honorary title "Brave Rabbit" from now on.

        The Secret of the Bird Woman

        by Albert Wendt

        Three female scientists live on an abandoned factory site, the Owls’ site, and pretend to be homeless. They maintain a number of well-calculated deceptions in order to avoid detection. Only the children cannot be deterred and come to the site to pursue their activities. That is why the researchers need a bogeyman. A student friend, wrestler and now author of children's books, seems suitable. But which secret are they trying to protect? The women observe an extremely rare bird during reproduction and care of the brood. There's a secret about it that will only be revealed at the very end: Its plumage is like a magic hood. How this works would of course be highly interesting for the weapons industry, hence the strict secrecy. External threats must be warded off and the pitfalls of living together must be mastered.
