Sophia Kimmig liest aus "Nachts am Teich"

Reading (from 5 years)

Mara and Grandpa want to go camping by the pond today. Mara is already very excited. What will it be like out in the night? Together they watch as the day fades and the night awakens. The air is filled with the croaking of frogs and the chirping of crickets. Green eyes light up in the flashlight - a fox? But it's getting cold and Mara and Grandpa snuggle into their sleeping bags in the tent. Then they hear a strange noise ... what animal could it be? This lovingly told and atmospherically drawn non-fiction picture book sharpens the senses for animals, plants, sounds and the light at night - embedded in a heart-warming story. Who wouldn't want to spend a night outside in a tent? In the life of Dr. Sophia Kimmig, a renowned wildlife biologist, (almost) everything revolves around nature - especially its animal inhabitants. In her picture book "Nachts am Teich", she focuses on what happens outside when the sun has long since set. She combines her scientific expertise as a biologist with her love of art and gives children and adults alike impressive access to the nocturnal world.

Sophia Kimmig is a biologist and Spiegel bestselling author. She researches the ecology and behavior of wild animals and the relationship between humans and nature. Her first children's book, Wild Animals in the City, was shortlisted for the German Children's Book Prize. The author lives in Leipzig.
