An environmental story that invites children to wonder and act
On Tuesday, October 6, 2026, the Freiburg City Library will transform into a place of listening, discovering, and collective reflection. In the free storytime as part of the ClimateLändTage, children aged five and older will experience Kamishibai storytelling theater with the picture book From the Environmental Fairy and the Environmental Scare by Bärbel Spathelf and Susanne Szesny.
When pictures bring stories to life
The Kamishibai combines the focused atmosphere of a reading with the vividness of a picture theater. Page by page, a narrative world is created, where environmental questions are made accessible, imaginative, and immediately relatable for children. The story focuses on energy saving, water protection, and smart ideas for everyday life.
Literature as an entry into sustainable thinking
The storytime shows how children's literature addresses social issues without losing its narrative lightness. The Environmental Fairy and the Environmental Scare open a path to climate protection and sustainability that works through language, characters, and images. Thus, the format combines reading promotion with cultural education and encourages young listeners to perceive their surroundings more consciously.
A literary experience for young environmental heroes and heroines
The voice of storytelling, the rhythm of language, and the changing picture boards create an intimate reading atmosphere. Children encounter literature not just as printed text, but as a communal experience: they listen attentively, follow the plot, and discover concrete possibilities for a mindful use of resources within the story.
Conclusion: Read aloud, listen, and shape the future together
The storytime at the Freiburg City Library combines linguistic artistry, picture books, and environmental education into a special afternoon for children aged five and older. Admission is free, and no registration is required. Families experience a child-friendly encounter with the author and the book that entertains, imparts knowledge, and sparks interest in more stories.
