1. CalmeMara Verlag Die Giraffe, die nicht in ihr Buch passte
This picture book is about Mila, a giraffe who knows what she wants. So far, so good. There’s just one problem: Mila doesn’t fit in her own book. When her head is visible, her tail doesn’t fit on the page. And when you see her back, her belly and legs are missing. That has to change! The giraffe quickly turns to her author. At first, she is not thrilled with her main character's ideas. But Mila refuses to bend any longer. She remains persistent: either they find a solution or she will leave the book. The author, of course, cannot allow that. She quickly does what she does best – she gets creative!
A wonderfully funny picture book with an important message: Don’t bend yourself, but write your own story!

Just when he is about to give up, he encounters a few excited hens in the deep snow. Can they help him?

7. CalmeMara Verlag Yoshi und das Meer
In 1997, fishermen found a small injured sea turtle in the ocean and took her on board. She was named Yoshi and brought to the Two Oceans Aquarium in Cape Town for rehabilitation. In the safety of the aquarium, Yoshi grew, became stronger, made friendships, and soon had numerous fans. Twenty years later, Yoshi returned to the sea. Researchers attached a tracking device to her shell and monitored her incredible journey: for 982 days, Yoshi swam over 40,000 km and sent out 23,167 radio signals before finally returning home.

8. CalmeMara Verlag Das Spiegel-Zebra
The zebra stands by the lake and sadly gazes at its reflection. Its ears are far too hairy. And who even came up with those funny stripes? The zebra feels down as it remembers how the other animals recently made fun of its appearance. The crocodile said its fur looked like pajamas - and everyone laughed loudly. But wait a minute: not everyone has stripes like these! And zebra ears are particularly soft. The zebra shakes off the opinions of the other animals and happily admires its reflection.
Am I good just the way I am? And who actually decides that? A flip picture book for children aged four and up that invites discussion about external perception and exclusion, self-love, and personal beauty.

10. CalmeMara Verlag Linda Mieleck
In the picture book "The Egg with a Crack," author Iris Fedrizzi tells the story of Easter bunny girl Pasqua and Easter egg Anto. Anto, the egg, realizes that he has quite a crack and is also hollow! When Anto, undeterred, rolls out of the egg carton onto the meadow full of determination, his friends are skeptical. The bunny girl Pasqua eventually finds him exhausted but happy in the meadow. She has the skilled snail Kintsugi repair the cracks. With the golden seams and green paint, she transforms Anto into the most special and beautiful egg on the Easter bush.
A story that shows why being different does not make us any less valuable. On the contrary: often it is our little mistakes and quirks that make us something truly special. Illustrator Linda Mieleck takes children aged 3 and up and their families on a journey with beautiful illustrations, reminding us that the uniqueness of every living being - and every Easter egg! - makes the world the colorful and diverse place we all love.
The uniqueness of every living being is not only central to the picture book "The Egg with a Crack," but also to the meeting and grace farm Dorf Sentana in Bielefeld, which inspired us to establish CalmeMara. Every book purchase supports the animal residents and social projects in the village.
