Talking about feelings is not that easy. Waldi the caterpillar has to learn this one morning when he carries a heavy stone on his back. Waldi sets off and meets other animals on her journey who are also carrying special stones: the Neinstein, the Kleinstein, the Weinstein. Each encounter tells of feelings such as sadness, insecurity or tiredness and of how feelings become lighter when they are shared. It is always about emotions, friendship and the power of community. The Alone Stone is an invitation to children and adults to discover, accept and talk about their own colorful feelings. A book that lives without explanations - and yet explains a lot.
