Isabel Pin: How Plants Travel – Nature Adventure at the Children's Literature Festival

When Dandelion Parachutes and Maple Helicopters Go on a Journey

At the 33rd Freiburg Children's Literature Festival, Isabel Pin takes children aged eight and above on a fascinating journey through the world of plants. The non-fiction picture book reading combines knowledge of nature, artistic illustrations, and lively stories into an inspiring festival moment at the Museum of Nature and Humanity.

An Exploratory Journey for Young Nature Researchers

How do plant seeds get to new places? Isabel Pin shows that wind, water, and animals become important travel companions. The parachutes of the dandelion, the helicopters of the maple, and the surprising popping effect of the cucumber vividly illustrate botanical strategies and spark curiosity about nature right outside the door.

Illustration Meets Child-Friendly Knowledge

The artistic non-fiction picture book How Plants Travel features gentle, large-scale illustrations and fine details. The reading creates a varied multi-day experience within the Freiburg Children's Literature Festival: Children listen, discover visual worlds, and develop their own questions about ecology, seed dispersal, and nature conservation.

Amidst the atmosphere of the Freiburg Children's Literature Festival, young guests encounter an experienced illustrator and experience literature not just as quiet reading but as shared wonder, learning, and creative discovery.
