Lorenz Pauli & Miriam Zedelius
Look after Me!
Here, the adult asks the child how best to look after children. And the child admonishes him when the man’s suggestions lead to dangerous games.
But that is not the whole story yet: Why does Mr
Snip not fall from his hammock when you turn the book upside down?
Or does he? And where are Yuri and him when they fly into space?
Simply hold up the book and, right before your eyes, the two will fall back into the pages …
With a twinkle in his eye, Lorenz Pauli sides with the children who have hovering ‘helicopter parents’. With the characters from Please Help Yourself (Atlantis, 2012) he invents a new version of
an upside-down world. And Miriam
Zedelius continues the game in her pictures.

“Look after Me! is a tongue-in-cheek take on the debate about helicopter parents that turns everything on its head – the expectations of overprotective parents and the story itself!” – Bambolino Magazine
“… an adventurous journey over hill and dale and across the pages of a book … The interactive effect, achieved by turning or lifting the book, is the highlight of this witty story.” – Eselsohr
“Mr Schnippel and little Juri are a picture-book duo with plenty of wit … A charming story about an everyday adventure of looking after one another and fiction.” – 1001 und 1 Buch
