Tell Me What You See
Designed for children ages 3 to 7, Tell Me What You See (available in English and German) is a picture book that invites young readers to slow down, observe closely, and put their perceptions into words.
Through finely cut silhouette scenes and a quiet, reduced visual language, each spread creates space for shared looking and conversation. Rather than directing attention, the book encourages children to notice details, form interpretations, and articulate what they see in their own way.
The imagery is shaped by the sensitivity of young children—attentive to mood, gesture, and small shifts in the environment—offering a contemplative reading experience that supports language, imagination, and meaningful exchange between child and reader.
