The gifted storyteller Paul Maar understands the childlike longing to be great and independent from the ideas of parents and teachers. With gentle tones, clever wordplay, and subtle situational comedy, he weaves a tale of secret and obvious desires. His readers marvel, laugh, and feel understood. Maar starts with an everyday scene, introduces a fantastic creature, and just like that, we are off on a new book adventure. This reading pleasure for people of all ages is illustrated by Ute Krause with witty visual ideas.
