About this Event
Believe in Your Dream
The little mole wants nothing more than to be able to fly. His mom doesn’t understand him, and the other animals laugh at him. Maybe someone can show him how. So he sets out on a quest but everyone just tells him: You can’t fly. You live underground. You have shovels and no wings. You’re blind and fly into every tree. A mole is still a mole. Only the owl encourages him to pursue his goal. “If you can’t fly, then fly with your ears.” The little mole should listen to the wind as it blows through the grass, as the leaves rustle, and as it whistles through the branches. He should take in the scents carried to him from the sea and from distant lands.
Thanks to his imagination and his unshakable belief in himself, the mole succeeds in the end: He flies! The Little Mole closes his eyes and becomes an earthbird.
Der kleine Erdvogel is a book about self-confidence and resilience, powerfully illustrated with atmospheric images of nature.
The book is a children's book in German, suitable for children aged 3 and up.
Afterwards, we will be creating a mobile with flying moles.
