The Magical Word Lottery

The biggest prize is words

Helene’s grandma collects magical words in a little box. Helene is delighted with this treasure and has an idea: what if they raffled off the most beautiful words in a lottery? Grandma and Helene build a street stall and the first visitors arrive. ‘Wave’ takes a bearded man out to sea, “Bell” leads a little girl into a room decorated for Christmas and “Glow” makes sparks fly for two lovers. In the end, Helene also gets to draw a word and embarks on a magical journey with her grandma.

Jutta Degenhardt tells an enchanting story, for which Lars Baus has created a dreamy world of images. Young and old alike will love to dive in and let their thoughts take flight. Is there a better gift than a vocabulary filled with magic?
