Tintoretto and his friends

An Octopus for Climate Protection – the first children's audiobook by Dirk Rossmann

Dirk Rossmann is no stranger in the literary world. His autobiography, ... then I climbed the tree!, published in 2018, reached number 1 on the SPIEGEL bestseller list, as did his thriller The Ninth Arm of the Octopus in 2020. Now he is writing for children for the first time – and once again, the multi-armed sea creature takes center stage.

The octopus Tintoretto arrives in a new bay and meets Crabby Crab, Mala Mandarin Fish, the dolphin Double Click, the jellyfish Kurt, and others. Together, these unique sea creatures embark on adventures centered around friendship and mindfulness, conflict and reconciliation, as well as pollution and climate change.

In short episodes, Dirk Rossmann shares with children the small and big questions and challenges – with empathy, variety, and emotional excitement.
