Children and Books

Just let it happen - Why unconditional basic trust is so incredibly important and what it does to children. That's exactly what we talked about in today's episode of the Children and Books PodCast with Bellinda.

She shared her experiences from her job as a therapist and also talked about what it was like for her to record our audio book - The Valley by the River :D

Glad you listened and see you on the next episode :D

After all, being read to is something great, isn't it? That's exactly what LeseLust e.v. does! Today we had a wonderful conversation with Andrea Rübsam - board member of LeseLust e.V. on the topic of reading aloud children's books.

What makes the act of reading aloud so special? What is the magic of reading aloud? What do I look for when reading aloud? What effect does reading aloud have on children? These are the questions we dealt with in this episode.

We hope you enjoy listening and look forward to your feedback :D

Today on the Children and Books PodCast, Eliza Alvarez told us about her job as an animator and filmmaker for children's animated films. She explained how these films are produced, what excites her about them and the impact her own child had on them.

How is a children's animated film made? What do I have to pay total attention to? What makes an animated film so magical? How long does it actually take for such a film to become visible to the public?

These are exactly the questions we dealt with in this episode. We are looking forward to your feedback and your thoughts on this wonderful topic :)

Today we are talking mainly about children's books. What makes children's books special? What makes a children's book special and what are our favourite children's books? Not only do we talk about our favourite books, but we also talk about how Lubina, as a children's author, brings children's books to life.

In summary, the most important thing about a children's book is that it is made with love. So it has enchanting illustrations, tells a story that is unforgettable and overall simply conveys emotions.

It's nice that you listened! We're really pleased. I'm sure we'll hear each other again next week, I'm looking forward to it and wish you a wonderful week until then!

Yours, Lubina and Branko

In this episode of the Children and Books PodCast, Branko and Lubina talk to Eva about her childhood in Tanzania and how she perceived parenting with her children. What were your customs? What were you responsible for as a child? Where did all your energy come from? And do you think it is important to grow up multilingual?

These are the topics we discussed in today's episode with Eva and we are looking forward to your feedback. Your Lubina and Branko

Lubina and Branko are Mother and Son, Rachel and Josie are Mother and Daughter. Today we talked about the relationship between Mothers and their child and how poetry and story have a connection to that. The most important thing: Open words! We are happy that you are listening to the PodCast and are also happy about your feedback :)

Rachel Rogers is an art psychotherapist. We talked to her in the 5th episode of the Children and Books PodCast about child development and what she thinks is important in this context. She told us about her experiences, her job and a bit about her children :). We look forward to your feedback and suggestions. Our summary: Open communication is the most important thing for parents and children.

What is going on inside a child? How does it perceive its external world? How can it understand things and concepts? In this episode, we want to understand what a child thinks and understands. We talked to Jonas Happ, our designer, and simply discussed communication and design from his point of view.

Janey Verney is a poetry writer and artist. She is very much concerned with languages and interaction. In our project, too, she was able to help design our books in a wonderfully playful way and developed the most wonderful English stories for children. Today we will talk about why languages are important and how they influence our children.

Our second episode, is about Lubina's childhood, her ideas and how she became a writer. She talks about how she grew up and how she started her first attempt as an author and writer at the age of 13. The question for this episode: Does every child have a spirit of discovery?
