The neighborhood by the harbor is concerned: A zorilla has recently taken up residence in their town. No one knows where it came from or what it actually wants here. What are its intentions? Wilder fantasies are developed behind its back, until one day an agitated mob decides to confront it at its home – and experiences a surprise! Jutta Bücker created the first draft of the story about the marten, which evokes the worst suspicions due to its unusual appearance and reclusive lifestyle, more than ten years ago. She does not aim to judge or instruct, but rather to invite people not to succumb to their fears and instead open a dialogue with the seemingly foreign creature. This timeless picture story aims to encourage readers to engage with one another in an open and curious manner.
