Product details

An unknown object becomes a sensation. One day, the object suddenly appears. It doesn't move and makes no sound. Nobody knows what it is, where it comes from, or what it wants – or even if it is alive! While some people are excited about the object, there are also those who are afraid. What if the object is dangerous? Just as the two sides are in disagreement, the object disappears as inconspicuously as it appeared. And what remains for those who have grown closer in their concern for the unknown object?

This story illustrates on multiple levels how differently we all deal with unexpected situations and unknown objects, emphasizing the importance of compassion, kindness, and belonging – especially when one seems to be a stranger.

The poetic, thought-provoking picture book for little philosophers shows how friendship arises in unexpected situations, highlights attention and care, and comments on the meaning of life. It features wonderful abstract, modern illustrations.
