"Wish for something, my son!" says the big Peppo to the little Leppo, who is sick in bed and needs cold compresses. "I want to see the world," murmurs Leppo. That very night, father and son climb into a balloon and take off for adventures in the blazing hot desert, the humid jungle, and over the icy polar sea. At the North Pole, Leppo discovers a field of ice flowers. When he wakes up in the morning, the fever has passed. Helga Bansch tells the (fever) dream journey of the sick Leppo and the caring Peppo with great warmth, wrapped in fantastically beautiful images full of details and surprises.
