Nonnas Geburtstag

Luca helps his grandmother bake a birthday cake. Nonna is turning 77 years old.

Is that old or young?

Regardless, his Nonna is the best anyway.

But today, of all days, she has a problem: a piece of her gold tooth has broken! Luca helps Nonna set the table, and soon her three friends will arrive. However, they are not feeling their best today either.

Suzette has crutches. Alfonsina can only see with one eye, and Erna forgot her hearing aid at home. Still, it's time to celebrate!

Suddenly, a tear rolls down Nonna's cheek. She has a toothache. What to do? Everyone looks at each other in confusion, but soon it becomes clear what needs to happen next.

This cheerful picture book encourages reflection on how grandmothers in our society cope with life. The colorful illustrations, featuring the black cat Mr. Three-Legged, take children on a journey around the theme of friendship and show how we can help and support each other even in difficult situations.
