My mom also wears a corset. Karsten Steckling, a passionate author and rascal, has literally listened to the children and written down what he heard. The result is a collection of heartwarming, cheerful stories that offer surprises and warmth in many ways. Mischievous and close to the people, the author depicts the everyday life of the little ones, their worldview, problems, and joys at school, on the playground, and within the family circle. The new Steckling provides excellent reading material for cozy evenings at home, storytelling among friends and acquaintances, and of course, for sharing, even quirky word creations like "red cabbage butterfly" or "cat buck" won't stop that.
