The ice is melting right under polar bear Benny’s feet. Where is he supposed to go, and how will he ever find a friend to start a family with? He places a lonely-hearts ad and begins to receive messages from some very nice candidates: Polly, the chicken; Anni, the giraffe; and Ute, the whale. But none of them seem the right fit for him: they are
simply too different. But then he receives a letter from brown bear Isabella...
A book about the climate change, both serious and heart-warmingly funny.

Madame Chicken is a much sought-after doctor. She can help Mr. Fox (whose tail got caught in a door) and Mr. Bear (who had far too much cake on his wife’s birthday, with a spin in a carousel to boot – no wonder he is feeling sick). She recommends warmth to Ms. Giraffe, who has a sore throat after driving around in a cabriolet without a scarf.
She even finds the cure to Ms. Hedgehog’s heart ache: equipped with glasses, she won’t fall in
love with brushes anymore...
With very fresh and modern illustrations.

“There was a time when humans and fairies could travel back and forth between their different worlds with the greatest of ease.”

But times have since changed, and the dangers have been forgotten. Two children, the worldly Portia and the shy Ben, are tricked by Robin Goodfellow (a shapeshifter who can take the form of a fox) into opening a door to the fairy tale world for him – just to get trapped there themselves.

A magical story reminiscent of “The Neverending Story” or the Narnia books – at the same time, a true original with a diverse cast of characters and a unique narrative voice.

Jannik and Loni are best friends and have lots of adventures with the other children from their street. The ruler of their gang is Bo, Janniks older brother: he picks the stories for their games and sets the rules. Then comes a day when he invents a new rule… it means that Loni is different; just because her mother is from Kenya. Jannik has to make an important decision: to play along with the game or to stick by his friend… but then events start to spiral out of control… An important and timely story about what can happen if we define ourselves by our differences rather than the things we have in common. Set to become an important piece of children’s literature!
