Skelett und ich

"Do I really have a skeleton in my body?" I ask Mom quietly. "Of course," she says. "Every person has a skeleton." "And where exactly?" I ask. "Deep inside the body, under the muscles," Mom replies. When Teo is so startled by another child in a skeleton costume at a dress-up party that he breaks his arm, he doesn't yet know that there is a skeleton living in his body too. But the X-ray shows it very clearly... This story takes children's fear of skeletons seriously and gently approaches the idea that skeletons are part of ourselves, and how wonderful that actually is. A picture book that sensitively explores existential questions for children at their level. Nominated for the Nordic Council Children's and Young People’s Literature Prize 2024.
