Stromer

Stromer is a homeless man, a person living on the streets. After icy nights, he longs for hot coffee. And he is hungry. He used to deliver mail, but that was a long time ago. In the warming center, he is allowed to line up for a warm meal. When asked for his name there, he can no longer remember, so he moves on: tired, freezing, and hungry. But then suddenly a little girl stands in front of him and offers him a cookie. She says, "You look funny. Like a teddy bear!" This cookie is the best cookie in the world. And in the evening at the warming center, Stromer knows what he can reply. A picture book that offers a glimpse into the world of people whom many want nothing to do with.
