Big Questions, Little Wolves, and Lots of Love
A curious little wolf wants to know from his father: Is ten actually a lot? Am I big, strong, wild, and fluffy? In the Kamishibai You, Dad... is ten a lot?, children experience a heartwarming story about self-perception, comparisons from the animal kingdom, and the special bond between parents and children.
Pictorial Stories That Invite Wonder
On Monday, January 25, 2027, the small stage of the Japanese storytelling theater opens in the Public Library – Anna Seghers in Mainz. Picture by picture, a lively world is created in which children observe closely, listen, and develop their own thoughts. The colorful Kamishibai cards make the story vivid and create a shared family experience filled with children's laughter, curiosity, and fun learning.
Discussing Size, Strength, and Feelings in a Child-Friendly Way
The little wolf asks questions that many children know from their everyday lives. How tall am I? What can I do especially well? How do others see me? The answers from the father wolf lead to understandable comparisons from the animal kingdom and important topics of child development. The Kamishibai thus provides an age-appropriate occasion to talk about self- and foreign perception, feelings, and security.
Educationally Valuable Learning Experience for Families
The story by Sabine Bohlmann and Emilia Dziubak is aimed at children aged 3 and up according to the publisher. The image-based storytelling supports language development, active listening, and retelling. At the same time, it creates space for open children’s questions and shared conversations. The message remains child-friendly and comforting: Much in life can be compared – but the love between parents and children cannot.
A Safe Place for Shared Time
The Public Library – Anna Seghers promotes education and knowledge for all age groups. In the children's library, young visitors find media as well as reading and learning opportunities. The event takes place indoors at the library and combines a calm atmosphere with a concentrated, family-friendly learning experience.
Conclusion: Wonder Together and Start Conversations
This Kamishibai gives families a special break with a loving animal story, big children's questions, and many little conversation starters. Those who want to wonder, laugh, and talk about feelings together with their child will experience valuable time together in Mainz in the name of stories and closeness.
