September 2021Os escritores de cartas à mão armada
by Olufunke Ogundimu
Os escritores de cartas à mão armada da autoria de Olufunke Ogundimu é uma estória sobre uma comunidade nigeriana que recebe cartas de assaltantes à mão armada a anunciar a sua chegada e uma lista de pertences que tencionam levar.

May 2020Was du nicht alles kannst!
by Davina Bell, Allison Colpoys, Kathrin Köller
Fledermäuse basteln, die Uhr lesen, Schiffchen bauen, malen, auf Drachen reiten, andere trösten, auf der Ukulele schrammeln, Schätze suchen, auf andere zugehen, Fragen stellen, tanzen, tagträumen – es gibt viel wichtigere Sachen im Leben eines Kindes als ›besser – schneller – weiter‹, als Schularbeiten und Tests, nämlich Fantasie und Herzensbildung und jede Menge Lebensfreude. Davina Bell und Allison Colpoys rauschen mit den Leserinnen und Lesern in gewitzten Reimen und knallig-fröhlichen Bildern durch all das, worin Kinder jeden Tag ganz nebenbei aufgehen und glänzen. Und zeigen dabei: Jeder kann etwas anderes gut, denn jeder ist einzigartig. Dieses lebendige, farbenfrohe Buch feiert all die Dinge, die jedes einzelne Kind ausmachen und ihm Wert verleihen – und das ist mehr als gute Noten, Stillsitzen und Bravsein.

May 2020Alfie und der Clownfisch
by Davina Bell, Allison Colpoys, Salah Naoura
Der kleine Alfie möchte zu gerne zur Verkleidungsparty in der Schule gehen, sein Kostüm – ein Seestern – liegt schon bereit. Doch kurz davor verlässt ihn der Mut – er ist einfach zu schüchtern. Seine Mutter geht stattdessen mit ihm ins Aquarium, wo Alfie staunend vor der großen Glasscheibe steht und einen Clownfisch beobachtet, der sich kurz zeigt und dann gleich wieder zwischen den Korallen versteckt. »Manchmal müssen Clownfische sich einfach verstecken. So sind sie einfach«, sagt Alfies Mutter. »Menschen auch«, sagt Alfie. Doch bei der nächsten Verkleidungsparty traut er sich – im Kostüm eines Clownfischs. In wunderbar warmem Ton und poetischen Bildern erzählen Davina Bell und Allison Colpoys davon, dass man sich manchmal die Bettdecke über den Kopf ziehen muss und es einfach ein bisschen dauert, bis man bereit ist für die Welt da draußen.
