Saying Goodbye to Gran
• Illustrated by Syvonne Hoppe-Engbring
• Grandma has gone and some say that the good
Lord has "called grandma to him". Maybe it's true,
who knows...
• This poetic picture book positively portrays ways of
saying goodbye and is not afraid to address the
question of death. A gentle and calm approach to
children's questions.

Felix Neureuther / Bastian Schweinsteiger
Two Friends in Football Fever
• Illustrated by Sabine Straub
• Basti is taking part in a big match with the best
European footballers. Ixi, Basti’s friend, suggests
they pick up Basti's football mates in their home
countries, and so a journey across Europe begins.
On the day of the big match the arena is packed to
the last seat and a buzz of excitement fills the
arena. When Basti shoots a free kick at the post
with full force, the goal collapses; the match is
stopped and a draw is declared. Everyone is so
happy holding up the trophy and celebrating
together.

Sylvia Schopf
Goethe for Children
• Over 14.000 copies sold
• Goethe's works have lost none of their relevance
today, they deal with the key preoccupations of
mankind: truth and lies, love and sorrow, good and
bad, life and death. As close to the original as
possible, yet carefully condensed, the stories
convey the main meaning of the masterpieces for
a children's audience. The lively, at times ironic,
trenchant illustrations impressively underscore
what the poet has to say. A pleasure for children
and adults alike!

Ursel Scheffler
Most Beautiful Fables
• Over 20.000 copies sold
• Illustrated by Hans-Günther Döring
• Even though some of the fables in this book were written more than 6 000 years ago, they have never lost their up-to-dateness. Every child should know the story of the fox which coaxes the raven into giving him a piece of cheese, or the tale of the ants which trade their winter stocks for the music of a hungry cricket. Each fable is complemented by old and new proverbs which reveal the deeper meaning of the fable.
