How Plants Travel: A Colorful Exploration for Children
How does a dandelion seed get to a meadow, why does a maple twirl like a little helicopter through the air, and what role do animals and water play? At the 33rd Freiburg Children's Literature Festival, Isabel Pin takes children aged eight and up into the fascinating world of plants.
When Seeds Go on a Big Journey
The reading from Isabel Pin's non-fiction picture book How Plants Travel makes it clear that plants are true survival artists. Wind, water, and animals assist their seeds in reaching new places. Vivid examples such as the dandelion's parachutes, the maple's flying skills, and the surprising popping effect of the cucumber turn nature knowledge into an exciting family experience.
Science Meets Picture Book Art
Gentle, large-scale illustrations invite the discovery of fine details and the development of one's own questions. The child-friendly combination of factual knowledge, stories, and images supports an age-appropriate learning experience around ecology, plant distribution, and nature conservation. Children experience how much wonder and learning fun is contained within a small seed.
Seeing Nature Anew with Isabel Pin
Isabel Pin was born in 1975 in Versailles, studied illustration in Strasbourg and at the University of Applied Sciences in Hamburg, and has written and/or illustrated more than 50 books.

A Festival Morning at the Museum of Nature and Human

The Freiburg Children's Literature Festival has been organized by the Cultural Office of the City of Freiburg since 1994, in cooperation with the Freiburg Theater and other cultural partners, schools, libraries, clubs, and bookstores. The established framework ensures a child-friendly, safe, and stimulating encounter with children's literature.
