"Tilda and the Scent of the World" is a sensitive children's book that addresses the complex emotions of a torn family. The protagonist, Tilda, experiences the world through her nose and connects scents with memories of her father, who no longer lives with them. The story depicts how Tilda and her little brother Hans cope with their father's absence and perceive the differences between visits with him and life with their mother. Karin Koch authentically captures the children's perspective, while Iris Wolfermann's illustrations enrich the narrative with a cheerful touch. This book not only offers an engaging read but also encourages reflection on family relationships and the longing for security.
