The Magic Hat
The Magic Hat is a heartwarming tale of kindness, courage, and transformation. This enchanting story follows a magical hat as it journeys from one creature to another, offering its wearers exactly what they need—whether it's bravery, guidance, or comfort. From a timid bear to a lost mermaid, a mischievous monster, and even a sorrowful lump of sadness, each character discovers the power of hope and change through the hat’s magic. But hidden in the background of every adventure is a quiet observer: a small gray mouse, always watching. When the hat completes its final act—helping Mother Nature bring winter’s beauty to life —it loses its power, only to reappear in the most unexpected way. In the end, the hat’s greatest gift is not just to the mighty and magical, but to the smallest and most unassuming of creatures.

- With its timeless message of generosity and wonder, The Magic Hat is a beautifully woven tale that will captivate readers of all ages

- Follow the journey of a mysterious hat that grants wishes, touches hearts, and reminds us that magic exists in the most unexpected places.

- A visually stunning tale brought to life with enchanting illustrations on every page.
Escaping a small Catholic village on the edge of Bavaria over nine years ago, I moved to the city where, according to Erich Kästner, doom lurks in every direction. From an early age, I was obsessed with pop culture, the '70s and '80s, the Sex Pistols, Rio Reiser, John Waters, Drag Queens, queer history, film, fashion, theater, and art. Now, you’ll find me in one of Berlin’s many pubs, at the cinema, concerts, or at home in Friedrichshain creating colorful Illustrations and writing verses for my upcoming children books.
