The German translation uses a name more familiar with younger kids. In this case I support the change so children in German speaking countries have a better connection to the story. A story that is so simple, but some people really struggle with that: take children serious and support them. It could be so, so easy. This book shows us that children know who they are and are perfectly comfortable when the surroundings help them finding their way.

TheBookHippie I love this book. 2w

Thanks for the tag @TheSpineView

1. Even though I'm right-handed, I can only hold a phone in my left hand when speaking to someone.

2. I have an ornate hierarchy of coffee mugs that govern which I'll choose in any given situation.

3. I refuse to watch movies based on books unless I've read the book first.

TheSpineView You're welcome! Agree with you on #3. The book MUST be read first. 3mo

dabbe #1: #ditto! I find that I do pretty much everything with my left hand except write. 🤩
#2: I'm a mood reader; you're a mood coffee drinker! 😂
#3: YES! 🤩 3mo

The_Penniless_Author @dabbe I'm pretty sure it developed from me holding the phone with my left hand so I could scribble down notes with my right hand when I was a kid. Am I right in guessing that yours is because you were forced to write right-handed in school? 3mo

Deblovestoread Yes to the mug to fit the mood. I will rearrange or reach to the back for the mug that is right for the day 🤷🏻‍♀️ 3mo

dabbe @The_Penniless_Author I first started writing with both hands; then, I was “encouraged“ to choose the right one. I never even asked why as a kid, nor do I remember the teacher giving me a reason. I was a follower as a kid and just did what I was told. Not so much anymore. 😃 3mo

The_Penniless_Author @dabbe It's weird that not that long ago it was a commonly held belief that writing left-handed was "defective" somehow. It still is in a lot of places. My wife was forced to write right-handed growing up in Bulgaria, and she was born in 1984! 3mo

The_Penniless_Author @Deblovestoread I own way too many mugs. 😂 It was my go-to souvenir for years. 3mo

dabbe @The_Penniless_Author Wow! I think in some places it was even seen as evil. The right hand being the “right“ way to write. #funwithhomophonestoo 3mo

Vansa Same for me with the coffee mugs and the books to movies adaptations! I relaxed that for The Expanse tv show though, and don't regret it! 3mo

I don‘t own this book. I will see if I find it used. I couldn‘t find a thriller with this word on the cover, maybe is lost in some stack. Any recommendation? It is a trope I don‘t like much maybe that‘s why I couldn‘t find anything in the places I looked up.

My precious, very tall, 9 year old read 40-50 this year! He prefers reading before falling asleep, and loves rereading favorites, so I can‘t keep track. 😂 But he‘s awesome. Proud of him!

#DecemberDreams Day 8: #Bells reminded me of this book. A young boy named Henry has just discovered the perfect book ever written about bicycles. However, his reading is constantly interrupted by the school bell. After much interruption, Henry decided that he will not allow school bells to faze him any longer. He has decided to just keep on reading (#BeLikeHenry). My full review: https://wp.me/pDlzr-lY0
