Layla im Reich des Schneekönigs

Layla's Journey into the Impressive World of the High Mountains – a Picture Book for the Whole Family. Reinhold Messner's first picture book tells the story of a little girl with a very special name: Layla – which means "on the mountain peak." Together with her father, she sets off to a faraway land. Just like him, she is enchanted by the world of the Snow King, where people live under harsh conditions yet in harmony with nature, leading a very special life.

Layla's adventurous journey into the high mountains, beautifully illustrated by Davide Panizza, explains the magic of the mountains in clear language: a book that sparks curiosity about nature in children aged 5 and up. The search for beauty and the discovery of silence: a poetic picture book for the whole family. How encounters with nature foster ecological awareness: an invitation to rethink environmental protection. Why it is worthwhile to preserve untouched nature: Reinhold Messner's message to the next generation.

A love for the mountains and respect for nature: what Reinhold Messner wants to impart to children. For many years, Reinhold Messner has been committed to environmental protection and against excessive consumption. In his children's book about the journey into a foreign world full of ice and snow-covered peaks, he sends a clear message and conveys the great importance of nature and climate protection in an age-appropriate manner. With this picture book, Reinhold Messner shares his love for the mountains – a book for reading aloud, marveling, and reflecting for children, parents, and educators.
