Lorenz Pauli & Kathrin Schärer
There You Are! The Beginning of Love
‘Sometimes I love you so much I wish there were two of you.’ ‘Why?’
‘So we could hold hands on both sides.’
‘Oh! But we can do that, even if there’s only one of me.’
Impish, dreamy, rapturous or quiet; surprising themselves and each other, ‘the Smaller One’ and ‘the Larger One’ explore what it is like to be close to each other – to feel love, to feel at home.
Love is a universe. Love conjures up worlds of togetherness.
This is a story of creation. But a different one. For children … and for those walking hand in hand.
