Around the World in Seven Suitcases

Mr Walis’s left baggage office gets visitors from right around the world. Some of these people Mr Walis meets only the once, while others have become good friends. And Mr Walis is always surprised at all the things that can be hidden inside a suitcase. For example, one of them is full of candy – which sweet tooth might that one belong to? Could a secret agent be the owner of the mysterious suitcase that was never picked up? And why does a cat jump out of one of the suitcases one day?

In this colourful and vibrant picture book, we get to see what is hidden in seven suitcases, and ask ourselves what the things inside them can tell us about the people they belong to. Katja Spitzer’s wonderful and detailed illustrations invite young readers to work together to scour through the contents.
