Elf Emil brings Christmas magic to Hechtsheim

At the Kamishibai storytelling theater in the Hechtsheim district library, children experience a heartwarming Christmas story with pictures, narrative voice, and plenty of room for imagination.

A loving story for little Advent fans

Elf Emil spends the Advent season with the Klein family. On his way through the forest and in the house, the little Christmas elf leaves numerous traces and pranks. The picture cards of the Kamishibai make the action visible for children and invite them to listen attentively, marvel, and empathize.
