When the Wind Tells of the Sea
A Children's Book

About open ears and new friends.

Which stories does the world tell, if you listen carefully? The old bear knows that, but unfortunately his hearing has gotten quite bad. There might be a solution to that though...

A tender children's book about mindfulness and friendship, telling a quiet story with a lot of sound.

Recommended by the German Academy for Children's and Youth Literature (March 2025)

Publisher: Tyrolia

"And that things can sound a lot bigger than they look"

"The wind rustling through the leaves took us all the way to the sea"

Left page: "Everyone, except for me." Right page: "Every morning he sat there on the top of the hill. And every evening he was still on the exact same spot."

"I really wanted to get to know him! But how? If you are ever so awfully loud, everyone will react at some point, that is something I had already found out ages ago!"

Left page: "HELLOOO?! Who are you? What are you doing? Why are you looking so sad? – That worked! He noticed me!" Right page: "I am Bear and I got old. Good that you are so loud. He sighed: Over time I have lost my hearing and I miss it very much. Back then I loved to listen to the sounds of the world! The wind in the trees, the water in the stream. Do you know how many stories a sound can tell? – Because I didn't know, I stayed quiet."

"At the wild stream we listened to a rampant rock concert for a little while"

"But time went by quickly and even from listening you need to take a break from time to time. Bear had already gotten really tired, so I took him back home"
