Alberta and the ABC of Wishes: A Sparkling Journey Through Alberta's Wish Store
When glitter fish swim through imagination and picture book pages suddenly become walkable, a special family experience begins at the Literaturhaus Freiburg. In Alberta and the ABC of Wishes, children from the age of four, together with their families, discover a colorful world full of stories, wishes, images, and sounds.
A Picture Book to Immerse Yourself In
The Freiburg scenographer Jens Burde transforms the Literaturhaus into a walkable picture book world. Picture wallpapers, amazing things, and illustrations to touch invite children to stroll through Alberta's wish store with open eyes. This creates a child-friendly learning experience that stimulates curiosity, language joy, and imagination.
Stories, Kamishibai, and Music
The focus is on stories from the pen of Swiss illustrator Martina Walther. Readings with the world's largest Kamishibai, workshops, and picture book concerts connect literature with visual and musical impressions. Children experience how words create images, how rhythms accompany stories, and how a wish turns into a shared narrative.
Aged Appropriately and Educationally Valuable
The offering is aimed at children from four years old and is thus particularly suitable for preschoolers and younger elementary school children. The combination of reading, images, music, and active exploration playfully supports language development, listening skills, and the joy of discovering together. Parents see their children attentive, amazed, and in the midst of a creative community.
Free Admission and Weather-Independent
The event takes place at the Literaturhaus Freiburg, providing a safe family program regardless of the weather. Admission is free, and registration is not required. Families can dive into the world of Alberta between 3:00 PM and 6:00 PM and experience the exhibition at their own pace.
The offering is part of the 33rd Freiburg Children's Literature Festival, organized by the Cultural Office of the City of Freiburg in cooperation with the Theater Freiburg. Since 1994, the festival has brought children together with current children's literature, reading guests, and creative cultural offerings.
Conclusion: Discovering Together, Reading, and Finding Wishes
Alberta and the ABC of Wishes provides families with shared time, children's laughter, and fun learning in the heart of Freiburg. Among glitter fish, hidden pictures, stories, and music, a sensory literary experience emerges for little explorers. Those wanting to inspire children with books, images, and imaginative culture will experience a free and lovingly designed family afternoon here.
