When two people argue, reconciliation is important. It's clear that children will quarrel. Sometimes Hannes calls Marlene "Cinnamon Bitch" and she calls him "Dunce." It's not uncommon for Maida to argue with Valentina, and then Amelie gets involved too. But eventually, enough is enough when it comes to fighting. As Mrs. Maiwald, who usually wears a floral dress and smells wonderful from her hair, says: "Life is far too precious just to argue!" But what happens when parents fight and don't reconcile? This is a book about a sadly common occurrence for many children. Parents who no longer understand each other, families on the brink of breaking apart. A sad topic—but, as Mathias Jeschke and Maja Bohn show, not one to despair over. Because it can happen that one day the parents stand before their children with wide eyes.
