»Ute Krause's captivating illustrations and her
imaginative powers of observation are
fascinating.« – Booklist, Chicago
If there was one thing which Karla and her family could do well, it was to
make a noise. To make sure that they all had enough room to make a
noise, they moved into a tall, narrow house in which each member of the
family had a floor all to themselves. But the most interesting thing about
the house was the attic, for it was there that Karla found a cello with
which she could make the most wonderful noise! But that wasn't all: at
the very far end of the attic was a rusty door. When Karla finally managed
to open it she found a wild garden watched over by a stone lion. The lion
showed Karla a mysterious world: the world of silence and soft sounds.
