All her life, the prize-winning author Jutta Richter has written poems, and the best of them are gathered in this collection. In her surprising and humorous verses, we stroll through the seasons. We encounter fabulous beings, we laugh and hold back tears and feel cozy in the summer, which tastes »like raspberry ice cream«. We listen intently to the concert of the crows and the jackdaws, worry about the »poor dog« and laugh about the dove-angel. And in the »children’s bedroom forest«, it’s the »stinging nettle angel« that protects us.

A unique poetry anthology to be read out loud to others or enjoyed on your own. Julie Völk, the winner of multiple accolades in her own right, has created delicate drawings for the book. A great read for all lovers of poetry, young and old alike.
