In the moonlight, the trees whisper and the autumn flowers stretch their necks while all kinds of nocturnal wanderers, crown-headed slugs, moths, glow-worms and fireflys come out of their hiding. They move towards the inviting glow of lanterns, which gather the creatures of the garden together.
The award-winning authors’ sixth collaboration, the poetic good night adventure for young readers leads to the mysterious life of a garden in the dusk of autumn. The atmospheric evening tale lulls little readers into the land of dreams.
"I have always written. There is nothing better than writing and the free flow of my own images. I write because it is my way to my innermost self. Literature is encountering and understanding oneself and others."
