Clouds High: A brave reading journey for children aged 11 and older in Freiburg

Clouds High: A literary discovery tour for curious children

When a high-rise turns into a world full of secrets, a special family experience begins for young readers. At the reading Wiebke Strank: Clouds High as part of the 33rd Freiburg Children's Literature Festival, children aged 11 and up dive into a story about bravery, friendship, first love, and the fascinating people next door.

Floor by floor into the heart of imagination

Jule is brave, cool, and full of energy. Rock, on the other hand, is rather shy and hardly dares to talk to Jule. Together, their search for the mysterious neighbor G. Ott leads them through a fifteen-story high-rise. Along the way, they encounter unusual residents, surprising stories, and very different worlds of life.

A reading about courage, closeness, and diversity

Clouds High tells in a child-friendly way about the development of personal courage and the question of how encounters with other people can change one’s perspective. The event combines learning fun with literary amazement and opens up opportunities for discussion about shyness, falling in love, neighborhood, and community.

Wiebke Strank brings experience and a fine sense

Wiebke Strank studied Scandinavian languages, English, and German studies and lived and worked in Tübingen, England, and Japan. At the University of Kiel, she trained teachers with immigrant backgrounds for many years. Her first children's book Clouds High was awarded the Förderpreis of the Kirsten Boie Prize.

Literature as an age-appropriate learning experience

The reading is aimed at children aged 11 and up and creates a safe, child-friendly environment for focused listening, personal questions, and exchanging feelings. Especially for families, the literature festival offers a valuable opportunity to combine quality time with a sustainable learning experience. The Freiburg Theater is designated as accessible.

Conclusion: Dive into the world of clouds together

Families can expect a warm reading with exciting characters, gentle feelings, and plenty of room for imagination. Those who want to inspire children with books, stories, and human encounters will experience a special children's cultural event at Clouds High at the Freiburg Theater.
