Franziska Höllbacher’s Peggy’s Period Project – Paint It Red! has been shortlisted for the German-French Children’s Literature Award!

This is what the jury had to say:

“By embedding the topic of periods in an exciting, humorous story, enlivened by chat conversations and funny drawings, Franziska Höllbacher succeeds in breaking the taboo and allowing a relaxed and uninhibited approach to the topic. Embarrassment and feelings of shame are definitely a thing of the past.”
