My Favorite Things Have to Come Along

The little girl is only allowed to take the most important things with her when she leaves her home country. But the aquarium, Grandpa’s chair, the pear tree, the bus driver and her friend don’t fit into the suitcase... So she sends the most important things as a message in a bottle over the sea. And she can wait for it on the other side of the sea.
Sepideh Sahiri tells the story of the things that become favorites and how we always carry them with us. Julie Völk skilfully uses subtle and expressive lines to present them.
