At the PLOPP picture book festival at Central (at the main station), illustrator and author Sylvia Graupner invites children and families on an imaginative journey:
In her interactive reading "Im Papierschiff durch die Nacht" ("In a paper ship through the night"), she sets out on the ocean of dreams - sometimes gentle, sometimes stormy, always full of color, emotion and a spirit of discovery. Together with the audience, Graupner explores what happens when you let go, fall asleep and set off in your thoughts - accompanied by her impressively luminous images.

Following the readings, Armin Kaster invites you to a creative workshop at 5 pm - to write, draw and try things out for yourself.

And what else is going on at PLOPP?
Over two days, Düsseldorf author and illustrator Martin Baltscheit presents a lively festival of picture books, comics and stories. With readings, workshops, theater and drawing battles - for families, creative people and all picture book enthusiasts.
