children
This moving children’s book demonstrates how life becomes more interesting when different nations live together under the same roof.
Nobody knows the multicultural neighborhood of the old castle as well as the cat that accompanies the children during their daily adventures and is ready to help whenever she is needed. Therefore, she knows the story of Vitali and Alexis and their overcautious father. She was there when Larissa helped her Indian classmate out and when Erick, who is actually not as bad as everyone around him believes, stole a bicycle. She is aware of the shyness of beautiful Sophie and, of course, she cannot be missing when little Anna gives a party to celebrate that she’s finally three feet tall.
