Dear readers, every now and then something good comes out of playing with food. Three tomatoes, which one of us spontaneously stacked on top of each other during dinner, inspired us to create our story about the Tomato Tower. Over the years, more stories followed, surprisingly without any help from vegetables. At some point, we had the idea to turn the finished picture stories into a book. It has become a true, joyful family project; the texts are by the parents - Hans Peter and Sabine - and all illustrations are by the daughters Janina, Natalie, and Ronja. Now we wish all little and big adventurers a delightful encounter with Aunt Worm, Anselm Ant, and all their lovable friends! Your Walther family.
