German author Ingo Blum not only writes children’s books: he also is a comedian and a graphic designer. He combines all these talents in this entertaining – and philosophical! - little book, enhanced with delightful illustrations and lilting rhyme.
We meet a little tree on a hill who longs to see the world instead of being ‘planted’ and immoveable on the hill. Winter comes and the birds fly south and the little tree is left behind. With spring, he offers shelter to a swallow who in turn offers magic allowing the little tree to rise out of the ground and fly! The two fly over lakes, forests, fields, and clouds, and the little tree grows tired. They land on a snow-covered mountain (too cold), a city (too much noise, dust and scrum), the desert (too dry and hot), and eventually to the hill that is the little tree’s home. He is happy to return to his own home and now appreciates it even more.
As Ingo states at book’s end, ‘With my novels, I am primarily interested in offering new experiences and making suggestions for new perspectives of the world – also in the fantastic and magical. I want to do this in a playful way, not coincidentally. Children are the key to a poetic concept in fantastic situations with elves, animals, magicians, kings, dwarfs, giants, and the like. This is the purpose of the writing life…’
Eloquent and delightfully entertaining, Ingo Blum has captured a raptured audience! Very highly recommended. Grady Harp, October 19

The Spark That Changes The World.
My bedtime story program shows children a broader view of the world. Cross-cultural themes such as friendship, tolerance, gathering courage, overcoming fears, etc. are deliberately chosen to ensure that the stories are both linguistically and culturally understandable and exciting.
The bedtime stories you tell your children are an essential part of their education. The daily practice teaches and develops the emotional relationship between you and your child. Give your children the freedom to let their imaginations run wild. Your child's dream could ignite the spark that changes the world.
