Picture Book Beltz & Gelberg 1

In the year 2000, Philip Waechter, artist from Frankfurt, decided to draw a card a day. There are now almost 5,000 cards. In What A Day! 69 days of snapshots of an everyday family with children are presented – often enough illogical from a child’s point of view, and simply hilarious. Like his role model Sempé, Philip Waechter again proves himself a subtle observer of everyday situations. And he expresses how lucky we are that life is how it is.

»What would we be without the daily illustrations by illustrator Philip Waechter? Our lives would be duller. Year for year at the Frankfurt Book Fair he shares the past 12 months with us – by presenting a selection of his illustrated daily chronicles in the form of a postcard-sized illustration. « FAZ zur Buchmesse

Katrin Wiehle likes tea, pencils and foxes. Together with her boyfriend, she commutes between Germany and the United States and has been working as a freelance illustrator since 2009. She received the Talented Young Artist’s Prize from the German Academy for Children’s and Youth Literature in 2011 for her picture book debut, Professor Pfeffers tierisches Abendteuer.

What could be more wonderful for an inquisitive child than to take a walk through the garden or the forest? Katrin Wiehle invites young readers to join her on a nature ﬁeld trip to both near and far destinations, taking a closer look at things and describing them with short texts. She bases her observations on important criteria such as contrasts, comparisons and shapes in a child-friendly style. The new nature books are designed in earthy tones typical of the talented young artist and are produced in an environmentally sustainable edition, offering an all-around eco-friendly concept that appropriately meets todays needs – inside and out!

magic cast a spell on you! © Miriam Breig

A ﬂip-ﬂap book with magical illustrations by Antje von Stemm and over 1,000 fascinating combinations

Antje von Stemm is a book designer, illustrator and author – mainly of children’s books. She studied illustration in Hamburg and paper engineering in Santa Fe, NM in the U.S.A. Today she works in the Hamburg studio Freudenhammer. Her books have been published in many countries and have received such awards as the Youth Literature Prize, the LUCHS and White Raven.

The magician performs his tricks, »Here you see the magic ball, let this head be cute and small!« In the wink of an eye, he turns an egg into a bird, a bird into a horse, a horse into a dragon, which in turn changes into a firefighter and much more. Kids will be enchanted page for page when flipping over the different parts and changing head, tummies and legs into new combinations. They can conjure up a robot-dragon-monster or an alien-finned-horse … The special thing about this book is that the magician is also tranformed as each new creature appears. Antje von Stemm’s onomatopoeia nonsense rhymes can also be mixed and match to make reading this book a fun occasion for young and old.

8 Picture Book

A new children’s picture book by Rafik Schami published by Beltz & Gelberg

Mina is an innocent little mouse who is not afraid of anyone or anything, because she has no idea what fear is – until she meets the snake! A very wise and amusing picture book on one of the most important feelings, told by two successful authors: Raﬁk Schami and Kathrin Schärer, a great cast for a small performance.

Raﬁk Schami, born in 1946 in Damascus, has lived in Germany since 1971. He is one of the most signiﬁcant authors of German books, his books having won numerous awards. Schami received recognition for his life’s work. Beltz & Gelberg has published his novels Eine Hand voller Sterne (A Handful of Stars), Erzähler der Nacht (Storytellers of the Night), Der ehrliche Lügner (The Honest Liar) and the picture book Der Wunderkasten (The Magic Box) (Illustrations by Peter Knorr).

Kathrin Schärer, born in 1969, studied in Basel. She is one of the most renowned illustrators and has published many picture books such as Mutig, mutig (Courageous, Courageous) with Lorenz Pauli, and Johanna im Zug (Johanna in the Train), which was nominated for the German Youth Literature Prize. In addition, she illustrated the story Das Herz der Puppe (The Doll’s Heart) by Raﬁk Schami.

Mina, the little mouse, doesn’t know what fear is. So she goes out to discover it. »Are you scared?« she asks the lion. But the lion only causes fear, raging and roaring and making a scene – without success. »You must be crazy not to be afraid of me,« it says. The hippo is only hungry, the elephant also regrets not being able to be scared (but it wishes it could have some goose pimples), the dog is able to smell fear, the cricket thinks fear is funny and the turtle knows so many different types of fear and phobia that the little mouse falls asleep just listening to them. Suddenly she is wide awake when she faces the snake – and from this moment on, she knows what it means to be afraid … »When I stand on stage, I am able to transform 700 sceptical people into children. All it takes is the beauty of words.«Raﬁk Schami »Kathrin Schärer is much more than an illustrator of children’s books. Her ﬁgures show character, personality, emotions and affection so that even as pictures they convey vivid experience and invite readers to communicate and start conversations. This is precious encouragement to read, educating even the youngest to experience the world in a loving way.« Laudatio at the award ceremony of the Heidelberg Leander.

Can this piece of paper on the table be thrown away? No, look at it more closely – it’s an icy landscape with penguins! When arts and crafts are done, there are often scraps of paper, spots of paint and glue and a mess is left behind. Toss everything in the waste basket? No! Paper artist Eva König shows how little stories can be told with the scraps, easily created with a few brush strokes, cuts or collages. And she motivates small and large readers to see their workspace with other eyes – until faces, ﬁgures and landscapes are visible …

Everything has its proper place – but how fast can things get mixed up? The minute you leave your home country, things like cars driving on the wrong side of the road, reading a book from the back to the front or even writing turns from right to left instead of vice versa start to happen … Nature also likes to do things differently, like letting the male seahorses be the ones to have the children, or making ﬁsh able to ﬂy. And sometimes even people act totally different than we expect them to. You can turn the world upside down in the wink of an eye. How about putting wool socks on your ears to keep them warm, and putting a thimble on your big toe? This refreshingly different picture book provides inspiration to both children and adults on how to playfully and philosophically look at things from a different perspective.

Voices from the press on Alles Farbe:

»A collection of everyday beauties that calls for going out into the world with your eyes wide open.« eselsohr »A wonderful little book that never lets you get bored – no matter whether you are telling stories about it, searching for things or just looking at the pictures.« Rhein-Main-Zeitung ISBN 978-3-407-79455-0

Amusing and absurd stories that will grandly amuse children, lovingly told by a new author. And even more thrilling because Axel Scheffler created enchanting illustrations to go with them. Going to bed has never been more fun! Ever since Mama went away for a while, Mirle and her father have a good talk every evening. »How was it at school today?« her father asks. »Our teacher said that there are people with lots of different skin colors,« says Mirle. »It hasn’t always been that way,« Papa replies. »All people used to have green skin.« »What?!« screeches Mirle, »Green??« Sometimes she is sure her father is crazy. And Mira lies on the sofa while Papa tells her how it was when everyone was green. Or why Aunt Elsie lost her patience when the tiny people were always sitting in her flowerpots. Or when the animals were able to talk and there was even a squirrel chorus – until the animals had enough and turned to the ones who make the decisions in the world, who finally put an end to all the chaos. And then Mirle goes to bed satisfied. That’s how every story, every day and this book all end. »Axel Scheffler is the most successful German illustrator.« Tilmann Spreckelsen, FAZ

Elderberry, the wizard, conjures up a storm that blows the elﬁn folk into all directions. Jannis, the young elf who has just been banned from the forest is the only one who can help now …

Wieland Freund, born in 1969 near Paderborn, is an author, critic and journalist. He received the Bavarian Art Promotion Award for his children’s books. His latest work to appear with Beltz & Gelberg were the three volumes about Turtle from McGreen, Die unwahrscheinliche Reise des Jonas Nichts (Jonas Nicht’s Unbelievable Journey) and Der schwarze Karfunkel (The Black Carbuncle). The author lives with his family in Berlin.

Joëlle Tourlonias, born in 1985 in Hanau, studied visual communication, majoring in illustration and painting at the Bauhaus University in Weimar. In 2009 she started to work as a freelancer and since then she has been living, loving, painting and drawing in Essen.

If Jannis had known what danger was facing the elves, he might have read AMSEL SALAMANDER’S BOOK ABOUT EVERYTHING. But Jannis chose to run through the forest at night instead, much to the dismay of his teacher, Eibert, the stork. And thus Jannis has no idea what is in store for him when he wakes Wendel, the forest demon. That he would have bad luck from now on. Not even his best friend, Motte, can prevent Jannis from being banned from the Elﬁn Forest. They had barely been gone when the nasty wizard, Elderberry, conjures up a storm to blow the elves in all directions. It looks like even the wonderful book that Amsel Salamander so artistically wrote and illustrated on leaves has been lost! Suddenly the only hope the elves have rests on Jannis and Wendel’s shoulders …

There’s one thing in this world Emily Brown can absolutely not stand – moving. And that is just what her parents are always doing. Are there foreign powers after her parents? The government? Or even aliens? If the doorbell rings in the middle of the night, Emily immediately knows what to do. Within ﬁve minutes she grabs her blue suitcase, tosses her book of lists and a few other belongings inside (her current record is 4:26) and jumps into a waiting car or helicopter with her parents. Emily has different theories about why they move so frequently. She doesn’t discover that her parents are famous spies, however, until they end up in Undercover City, the place where all agents live after they are no longer in active service. It is wonderfully tranquil here – at least up until the point when Emily and her friends Taylor and John hear that an invisible creature is wreaking havoc in the forest. What other choice do the agents’ daughters have than to try and solve the mystery?

The jury was deeply impressed at how the author was able to make the protagonists with their yearnings and entanglements come alive, despite all their anxieties.« The explanation of the jury of the Peter Härtling Prize 2013

✹ Winner of the Peter Härtling Prize 2013 ✹ Thrilling, intoxicating, impressive ✹ New author

»Emotions are crucial to survival,« her mother says, »but they make you weak in everyday life.« Yet Alice, a girl without a real home, no father and no friends, who would rather have a teddy bear than a golden heart necklace, is longing for emotions. Everything is different with Cherry, whose red toenails look like shiny pieces of candy. For hours they walk together through snowy forests that could be straight out of a fairy tale after school. When the snowﬂakes fall, they dance minuet. They also build a house out of ﬁr branches, lay down on the train tracks and stroll through town. The main thing is to be in each other’s company. Then the unbearable happens, when Cherry goes home alone after her karate exam. As Alice’s mother is on stage singing »Oh, I am dying, my life is over …« in the opera »La Traviata« as Violetta, Cherry is murdered …

You will ﬁnd robots made of scraps, animals, costumes, houses, vehicles, presents, games, and much, much more. The directions are easy to follow and the materials can be found in any household.

Biography Beltz & Gelberg 27

Richard Wagner’s

Richard Wagner (1813-1883) is still one of the most controversial Germans, even today, almost 200 years after his birth. The publisher and Wagner-expert, Axel Brüggemann, creates a furious and very contemporary picture of a megalomaniac and brilliant composer who wanted to change the world – and above all, music.

Cover: Rothfos & Gabler

»Those who listen to music ﬁnd themselves transported to a universe of art. They need to let it encompass them, putting their prejudices and view of the world aside.« Axel Brüggemann

His works are so huge and contradictory, that many wanted to call him their own – democrats, communists, fascists. There has rarely been anyone that better embodies German history in one person. He joined the protests in 1848, ﬂed into exile and ﬁnally served the fairy tale king, Ludwig II. He was a humanist and ego-maniac, anti-Semite and friend of Jews, chauvanist and lover of women, a philosopher and a private dictator. He unconditionally followed this idea of making music for a new era – a complete work of art consisting of music, lyrics and images – revolutionized music history. His works are still so modern that they were chosen for soundtracks to movies such as »Apocalypse Now«, »Matrix« and »Melancholia«. This biography provides readers with an encompassing overview of his eccentric life and his work, which are inseparably interwoven.
