Ada's Life
Ada Blackjack
Survival in the Arctic!
This extraordinary nonfiction book, which spans more than a hundred years of history, tells the story of a courageous young Iñupiak woman who joined a dangerous polar expedition and became the only survivor. Her name was Ada Blackjack.
Ada, born in 1898 in a small town in northwest Alaska near the Bering . We learn of Ada’s childhood and her difficult life as a young woman. In 1921, in order to provide her ill son with treatment, she joins a risky expedition as cook for four men who plan to explore an island north of Siberia. Life on the island proves very dangerous; the men perish and only Ada and her cat Victoria survive. Ada has to learn everything: how to hunt, how to shoot a gun, and how to cope with loneliness and her fear of polar bears.

To the High Places with Wild Animals
No other landscape is so diverse and makes such a deep impression. From the mountain forest to the meadows, the rocky zone and high into the glaciers, mountains offer a wide variety of living environments at different heights. Many animals - even the camouflaged ones that we rarely see - call this home. They can all be discovered in this large format, practical book that shows colorful life in the mountains in all its variety.
Besides the familiar ones, like the sparrow, the fox and the bear, we discover animals that are difficult to spot and are seldom noticed because they blend in to their surroundings so well. Birds, mammals, insects, and amphibians and reptiles - for all of them the mountains are an incomparable habitat.

All the Money in the World
Alles Geld der Welt
But what is money really? Coins, bills, something stored in the bank? What about something complicated, like cryptocurrencies? Money is a huge subject. Who invented it, and when and why? What was trade like before money? And why is money divided up so unequally?
Ever since money has existed, there have been arguments about what it is. A means to an end, or an end in itself? A thing, or an idea? A blessing or a curse? There has been every possible explanation.
And yet, money remains a puzzle.
With the help of this entertaining but informative graphic nonfiction book, at last we can begin to understand this puzzle and perhaps even become skilled money managers!

Out of the shadows stepped a Fox
Aus dem Schatten trat ein Fuchs
The landscape sometimes seems enchanted and reassuring, other times forbidding and threatening.
The night is still young, still long. But the more it advances, the more power it gains. The wanderers are close to losing heart and close to giving in to the dark mood. But the colour has been waiting to be found. It shows itself and gives the fox new courage for facing life. And the bird? He too finds his place and enchants us with his sad songs.

Soon You'll be Well Again, Little Cat!
Bald bist du gesund, kleine Katze!
The cat is sick,
Lies weak on the bed,
Her toes hurt,
And so does her head . . .
Everyone gets sick sometimes, whether they're small or grown up. What we need then, above all, is a little bit of comforting - from someone who'll hug us, love us, warm us up and take us in their arms.
A book for reading together, to give as a get-well gift, as heart-warming as a hug
