Waiting for Goliath by Antje Damm A warm and surprising story about unexpected friendship, with depth, humour and warmth.
This is the best sort of story that surprises you every time, even though you know what is going to
happen. The bear is the most faithful of friends and a very good waiter. Julia Marshall, Publisher
Bear has been sitting and waiting since dawn.“I’m waiting for Goliath,” he tells everyone. “Goliath is coming! He’s my best friend.”
At last, the bus pulls up. But no one gets out. Yet Bear is sure: “He’ll de nitely show up. You’ll see!”
When Bear awakes from a long sleep, he hears a noise like a hand sliding slowly across paper. Goliath is coming!
Children are fascinated by the pictures: Antje Damm creates a diorama from cardboard and photographs the scenes, giving the illustrations a special luminosity and depth.
Damm’s previous book published in this illustration style won the Lesekompass award at the Leipzig Book Fair and the Nimmerland picture book prize.
