Mamapapa & ich / Papamama & ich

My mom is a locomotive, a cat, a house. My dad is Mother Holle, a giraffe, a lighthouse. The compliments are surprising. They say a lot about the parents, tell the perspective of the children, and are above all declarations of love from both the girl and the boy. Claudia de Weck visualizes the amusing comparisons, integrates the ideas into the experience of both generations, and thus reveals facets of family life. When read from one side, it’s about mom; from the other, it’s about dad. And the more you read back and forth, the more subtle connections you discover.
