In short: What is Friedhelm about?
Feodora and Gino are allowed to spend the night in the garden tonight – right under the stars!
They make themselves comfortable under a large tree.
But suddenly they receive a visitor: a small bat named Friedhelm.
I would rather sleep in cozy blankets than hang upside down from the tree like the others.
Feodora and Gino help him find his own way.
A heartwarming story that shows that being different is something wonderful – and that everyone should be the way they like to be.
This book is really good for children because...
It shows children that being different is normal and valuable.
It strengthens self-confidence and self-esteem.
It promotes empathy and consideration.
It calms anxieties and builds trust.
It conveys strong social values.
The song video as a bonus enhances the effect!
