Only for girls? Only for boys?

Paul finds a glittering crown in kindergarten. But his friend Tarek says that only girls play with glittery things. So what will happen if a boy does it anyway? Will there be an explosion? Or will he turn into a glittery star? Paul and Tarek are brave and test it out, even though the other children laugh. Tilly decides to be brave as well: She defends Paul and Tarek! Because girls are brave and strong as well, of course!

A picture book that encourages all children – boys AND girls – to be true to themselves, and invites us to question “typical” gender roles.

There is space for everyone here!

The deer have found a secret spot while cruising with their nice convertible. And of course, they want it all to themselves. However, more and more animals come to the lake: they swim, play and picnic. It is such a hustle and bustle, and the deer don’t like it at all! Yet, when it suddenly starts to rain and the seats of their precious convertible get wet, the other animals come together to their aid with blankets, sunshades and towels. And the deer realise, feeling quite ashamed of their behaviour, that it is much better when all the animals come together.

A funny picture book about the important everyday issues of tolerance and sharing.
