When Daddy Was Waltzing with the Candles

Als Papa mit den Kerzen tanzte – book cover

Daddy lights the candles on the Advent wreath, puts it on his head, and shouts, “I am the King of Christmas!” Milena thinks it's funny, but Mom is quite anxious!

This book aims to show affected children that there are ways to deal with the frightening situation when a parent has a mental illness. Above all, however, it wants to make one thing clear to the little ones: You are not to blame for all of this!

The book was introduced to the public with a reading for children at the litCOLOGNE. It is available in German from bookstores and at atp-verlag, Cologne under ISBN: 978-3-943064-03-2
