Rosalinde hat Gedanken im Kopf

Rosalinde Has Thoughts in her Head

Christine Nöstlinger (Written by), Franziska Harvey (Illustrated by)

Rosalinde has a hole in her sock, a bandage around her knee, a ladybird in her hand, a necklace around her neck and – Rosalinde has thoughts in her head. Happy thoughts and sad thoughts and sometimes thoughts about what she would like to be when she grows up. Then Rosalinde thinks she would like to become a footballer like Freddy, who sits next to her at school, or drive a digger, or be a sea captain or a jet pilot. But Freddy says girls aren’t good at any of those things…
At first glace: a great little children’s book, light-hearted, fast-moving and full of fun. At second glance: a host of thought-provoking ideas that can help children to reflect on reality and to dismantle role stereotypes.
