Magical reading moments: stories that empower children

Topic:

In this online reading course, children and families can enjoy ten wonderful children's books read aloud by inspiring personalities. Look forward to familiar voices such as Kool Savas, Jasna Fritzi Bauer, Anna Maria Mühe, Aminata Belli, Taneshia Abt, and Hassan Akkouch, who bring each story to life.

From courage and friendship to empathy, diversity, and mindfulness—each reading opens up a new world and shows how stories empower children and convey important values. A special highlight is the bonus episode with all the readers, who share personal insights into their childhoods, their favorite books, and the transformative power of reading.
All episodes are available on demand – anytime, as often as you like.
