Fast wie Freunde

Description

Some kids are apparently more afraid than others. Mirjam Zels draws a loving portrait of little Sophie who has a hard time keeping up with the rest. Everything seems to be all right in that ordinary town, but something’s different, and nobody really cares. But then one day Sophie overcomes her inner demon and makes friends with her fear, accepting the little monster as a rather helpful and protective pal.

Statement of the jury

This book is lovingly designed in a style appropriate for children, and sensitively translates the subject of fear and the strength to courageously overcome that fear into a simply and imaginatively illustrated story.
