Parents' Café with reading aloud in Korbach and Frankenberg on 13 & 14 June

The picture book author Barbara von den Speulhof will be in Korbach and Frankenberg on 13 and 14 June - and will bring her picture book "Der Grolltroll" (The Grudge Troll) to the parents' café with a read-aloud.

29 May 2022

The Youth Service of the Waldeck-Frankenberg District with its Early Intervention Department participates in the action programme "Catching up with Corona". This is a support programme of the Federal Early Help Foundation, funded by the Federal Ministry for Family Affairs, Senior Citizens, Women and Youth. Within this framework, parent cafés with reading aloud will be held for the second time on 13 and 14 June 2022 in the municipal libraries of Frankenberg and Korbach. In cooperation with the two municipal libraries, the offer is aimed at parents with small children, mainly from birth to 3 years of age; siblings are also welcome. The current Corona rules are observed at the parent cafés.

A child-friendly environment and guidance by library staff and a pedagogical specialist offer the best conditions for all visitors to the parents' café to spend a few pleasant hours in the public libraries. Parents can look forward to interesting and stimulating read-alouds and can go on a journey of discovery into the world of books together with their child. In addition, parents and children can borrow so-called discovery backpacks, which are filled with e.g. age-appropriate picture books, read-aloud books, a hand puppet, a radio play and a Tonie figure.

At the event on Monday, 13 June in Korbach and on Tuesday, 14 June in Frankenberg, the Grolltroll will be presented, written by Barbara van den Speulhof and illustrated by Stefan Pricken. Little Grolltroll would have a wonderful life in the flowering meadow by the babbling brook... if it weren't for the stupid hut that keeps falling down, or the silly tree that just won't give up its apples despite all the shaking. So the little troll gets terribly angry, as if a thunderstorm with lightning and thunder were living inside him. Just like the rumbling thunder, he now feels like a real grumpy troll.

As there is only a limited number of participants for the "Grolltroll", registration is required by 9 June 2022
