Und was fühlst du, Känguru?

The bestselling picture book is now available as a large-format hardcover edition with added extras: strength poems, affirmations, and a checklist for emotional strength from family expert and parenting guide author Nora Imlau, as well as an expanded seek-and-find illustration and new family scenes by illustrator Lisa Rammensee.

"So much joy, so much anger, I feel a lot - and that's good!" Finally, children no longer have to feel alone and different with all their strong emotions, because the little kangaroo is now by their side. It's still dark, and already the kangaroo child Quirin jumps into the new day, excited and full of energy. But the mood can change quickly! The parents aren't getting up fast enough in the morning - and Quirin bursts into tears. It's time to get dressed! Let's go! And angrily, Quirin jumps away. Then the pants pinch, the buttons are bothersome, and outside awaits all the fast, loud, smelly things! NO! Quirin is on a rollercoaster ride of big emotions. Luckily, Mama has advice: pouch open, Quirin in, pouch closed, Quirin calms down! Co-regulation kangaroo style!

This hardcover picture book edition is suitable for all children aged 4 and up, or for those who may not feel entirely comfortable with the original cardboard version! The experienced journalist, author, and mother conveys the core messages of her parenting guides in this witty rhyming story: that it is okay to be jumpy, wild, and vulnerable, but also exhausting for everyone involved. That behind seemingly stubborn behavior often lie fears, difficulties with transitions, and other complicated feelings. And that the way out is not through pressure and punishment, but through understanding, communication, and loving co-regulation. Children will take away from the story that they are good and right just as they are, and that they can talk about their feelings instead of just shouting no. Meet your upset little ones with open ears.
