Sunny is searching for the lost thing – a brave reading journey for children

At the 33rd Freiburg Children's Literature Festival, families will experience Simply Sunny, a imaginative reading full of excitement, humor, and surprising perspectives. The story is aimed at children aged 8 and above and invites them to dive into a world where curiosity, courage, and togetherness lead the way.

A detective story with a lot of heart

Sunny is a blind seeker of things. When she meets the rather quiet Ben, who has lost something, a tricky case begins for both of them. Sunny does not let anything stop her: She climbs trees, searches in garden sheds, walks with strange dogs through the park, and follows every tiny clue. This creates a lively family experience filled with movement, wit, and many sensory images.

Child-friendly literature that engages all senses

The light-footed metaphors of the novel stimulate the imagination and turn the reading into a special learning experience. Children discover how differently people perceive their environment and encounter a heroine who confidently, wisely, and curiously finds her own way. This strengthens empathy, self-confidence, and the joy of reading.

An author with an educational perspective

Maren Graf worked as a teacher after studying German and philosophy and has been writing children's books since 2022. For Simply Sunny, she got to know children with visual impairments and incorporated their everyday experiences into the character Sunny. As a result, the story credibly connects adventure, inclusion, and age-appropriate development themes.

Quality time at the Freiburg Children's Literature Festival

The Freiburg Children's Literature Festival has been organized since 1994 by the Cultural Office of the City of Freiburg in cooperation with the Freiburg Theatre. The focus is on encounters with children's book authors and the joy of stories. Maren Graf's reading provides families with a protected, weather-independent cultural moment filled with children's laughter, amazement, and lots of fun learning.

Conclusion: A sunny adventure for little detectives

Families can expect a heartfelt reading about friendship, courage, and the power of careful observation. Children aged 8 and above will experience how exciting literature can be when a story raises questions and opens new perspectives. Those who want to spend quality time with an extraordinary children's book heroine can experience Simply Sunny live at the Freiburg Children's Literature Festival.
