Britta Teckentrup's new book about emotions is dedicated to the current topic of loneliness in childhood. While the feeling of being alone is completely natural and everyone experiences it, it can also be very unsettling and frightening when a child feels lonely. With her characteristic sensitivity, Britta Teckentrup explores those moments when the world seems far away, and we struggle with the heavy silence that surrounds us when loneliness casts an all-encompassing shadow over us. In a world where children, like adults, often suffer from such intense feelings, this book offers a calm, compassionate, and understanding voice that helps young readers recognize and name their emotions. The book teaches children that while loneliness can be sad and difficult, it is a part of life that everyone experiences. It also offers a glimmer of hope: even in the darkest moments, there is the possibility of light and connection ahead of us. A beautiful and important book for anyone who wants to talk to children about the feeling of loneliness.
