Provisorisches Cover
An old fox catches a magical weasel. He lets the weasel go when it promises that from now on, any
apple thief will get stuck to the tree – for evermore. Now the fox can enjoy his apples in peace...
until his Death comes to claim him. The fox, however, does not want to die just yet. He asks Death
to get him one last apple: Now Death is stuck in the tree and the fox triumphs. But he is getting
older. His vixen dies, his children grow old and he does not belong anywhere, any more. Is he
doomed to go on and on? Using a classic fairy tale motif, Kathrin Schärer tells her story about Death
being part of Life with her trademark gentle wit.
Kathrin Schärer, born in Basle in 1969. She graduated as an art teacher as well as in arts and
crafts from the Hochschule für Gestaltung in Basle. She teaches children with speech disorders
and works as an illustrator. While she sometimes illustrates her own stories, she is best known for
her longstanding and very successful collaboration with Lorenz Pauli. Kathrin Schärer has been
nominated for the prestigious Hans Christian Andersen Award 2012 for her complete works. And
Joanna in the Train (2009, Atlantis Publishers) was awarded the Swiss Childeren’s Media Award 2011.

ALOIS
ALOIS
2015
size 29 × 22 cm
4 years and up
Alois, the bull calf, does not know his own strength. He tears across the meadows, damaging fences
and hurting his fellow animals. When he even knocks down the little lamb he likes so much, he is
scolded by the other animals, and the farmer takes him away to another meadow, far away. Cut
off from his usual environment, Alois experiences the world around him in a new way. He squeezes
under a fence, walks toward the sun and falls asleep under a bush at last, covered with sweetsmelling blossom. When Alois comes trotting back to the farm, garlanded with flowers, his fellow
animals (if a bit surprised) warmly welcome him. Vera Eggermann’s new illustrations – depicting life
on a farm lovingly and with an eye for detail – perfectly complement Max Bolliger’s classic story.
Max Bolliger, born in Schwanden / Braunwald (Canton of Glarus), was a primary teacher, studied
remedial education and psychology and worked as a remedial teacher. He also played a decisive
role in developing early children’s programmes for Swiss TV. Later, he taught young adult literature
at the Primary Teachers’ Seminary in Zurich.
He started to write poems and stories for adults in the nineteen-fifties, becoming one of Switzerland’s
most successful children’s books authors later on. He was awarded, among many other prizes, the
Deutsche Jugendliteraturpreis and the Dutch Silver Stylus as well as receiving an honorary doctorate
from the theological faculty of Zurich University. Max Bolliger died in Weesen (Canton of Glarus)
in 2013.

Vera Eggermann, born in 1967, studied illustration at the Hochschule in Lucerne. In 1994, she
was the first winner of the Swiss Picture Book Contest, with Nina Wants to Fly. Since then, she has
published various books winning numerous awards. After living in London for an extended period
of time, she has returned to mainly living in Lucerne. She likes to read to schoolchildren, her target
audience, whose feed-back, she feels, greatly enriches her creative work.

MEIN RUCKSACK IST MEIN HAUS
English title: MY RUCKSACK IS MY HOME
2015
size 20,7 × 28,4 cm
4 years and up
John puts it all into his rucksack: his favourite things and provisions. ‘This won’t fit into your
rucksack’, remarks his mother. ‘Sure it will’, says John. ‘My rucksack is my home.’ He says good-bye
and sets off, for the the forest. He eats everything he has brought, then he slips into his rucksack
for the night. It begins to snow. The forest animals are surprised by the spring snow, and they are
seeking shelter with John: His rucksack becomes a cozy, warm animal refuge. In the morning,
John’s father and mother discover their child, hugging him among the scattering animals. Maria
Stalder has taken up a subject vital to growing up – leaving home and coming back – skillfully
dissolving the boundaries between reality and magic.
Maria Stalder, born in 1986, studied illustration at the Hochschule Design & Kunst in Lucerne and
has been living there ever since. At the moment, she is teaching arts and crafts at the Kollegium
Stans as well as working for magazines and children’s publishers. Her favourite activity is creating
illustrations for children’s books, but she also enjoys listening to stories or baking cakes. Mein
Rucksack ist mein Haus is her first picture book for a trade publisher. www.mariastalder.ch

Theo does not like water.
Looking behind the shower curtain, he finds a shark.
«Hi», says the shark.
«Hi, shark», says Theo.
Mark the Shark is elderly and cannot see too well anymore.
He keeps losing his way underwater, appearing in the most unlikely places.
Theo lends him his father’s diving goggles and cleans his dentures.
Now the two of them are ready for their great adventure.
The bathtub becomes an ocean where Theo, at play with Mark, loses his fear of water.
Daniela Rütimann turns a tiled bathroom into a wonderful deep-sea playground that goes perfectly
with Iris Muhl’s witty dialogue.
Iris Muhl was born in Zurich in 1970. After a fascinating odyssey through TV, radio and print journalism, she began to write non-fiction, screenplays and novels. Mark the Shark was inspired by her
childhood fear of sharks which prevented her from learning to swim for the longest time.
Iris Muhl lives in Zurich with her family.
Daniela Rütimann, born in 1968, studied textile design at the Schule für Gestaltung, Basle, and
illustration at the Lucerne Hochschule Design & Kunst. She has been drawing for various text book
publishers, magazines and cultural institutions since 2001. Daniela Rütimann lives in Zurich.

Dann warteten alle gespannt, welche Aufgabe
sich der älteste Riese diesmal ausgedacht hatte.
»Hört zu!« rief er, »König der heutigen Tages soll derjenige sein,
der den größten Bissen verschlucken kann.«
»Bravo! Bravo!« schrien die Riesen.
Das war ganz nach ihrem Sinn.
»Ich verschlucke eine Torte!« sagte einer.
»Ich verschlucke einen Kürbis!« prahlte ein anderer.
»Ich verschlucke einen Käselaib!« schrie der große Riese.
»Da kann ich nicht mitmachen«, dachte der kleine Riese.

In the Country of the Giants, there are tall and short giants. Like any child, the young one wants to
go along to the giants’ party. So they set out, the tall one taking long steps, the short one taking
short ones. At the party, one of the giants is to be elected president: The one able to swallow the
largest object wins! The tall ones strut and boast, but the short giant promises to eat a complete
apple tree. He swallows – an apple pip, planting another one in the ground. All the giants make fun
of him. The following year, however, a little apple tree has grown. Much impressed, the tall giants
vote for the short one to be president. Not just for one day, but for a whole year!
The Giants’ Party is a memorable fable about true greatness. Nele Palmtag has created new and
impressive illustrations to Max Bolliger’s classic story first published in 1981.

Here, the adult asks the child how best to look after children. And the child admonishes him when
the man’s suggestions lead to dangerous games. But that is not the whole story yet: Why does Mr
Snip not fall from his hammock when you turn the book upside down?
Or does he? And where are Yuri and him when they fly into space?
Simply hold up the book and, right before your eyes, the two will fall back into the pages ...
With a twinkle in his eye, Lorenz Pauli sides with the children who have hovering «helicopter
parents». With the characters from Please Help Yourself (Atlantis, 2012) he invents a new version of
an upside-down world. And Miriam Zedelius continues the game in her pictures.
Lorenz Pauli, born 1967, he trained as a kindergarten teacher and has been teaching sind 1989,
while being much in demand as storyteller in recent years. And in 2012, Lorenz Pauli gained formal
recognition as well: He was awarded a place on the IBBY Honour List for the extraordinary quality
of his text for the picture book Grandma, Emma, Mom (2010, Atlantis Publishers).
Miriam Zedelius was born in Heidelberg in 1977 and lives in Leipzig with her family. She also
studied there at the Hochschule für Grafik und Buchkunst. Today, she’s a freelance illustrator,
designing postcards, posters and picture books in her own small silk-screen printing workshop with
great success. Her two children enjoy being their mum’s test audience – she has already published
two picture books with their seal of approval, both of them written by Lorenz Pauli.

There is a knock from under Bert’s bed: It seems to come from the tool box. There is a goat in the
box! Bert helps it out, and together they redecorate his room. The chest of drawers becomes a
marble run, the tilted bed is perfect for somersaults and from the top of the wardrobe, the two can
see into the flat above. Soon, Dad and the neighbours come to complain, but to them, the goat is
invisible – of course. A goat who peeks through holes in living-room floors – unbelievable!
Artem’s art makes this impish story unexpectedly powerful: It takes place in one room only, but
there is so much going on – and then some!
Eva Roth, born in 1974, writes prose and dramatic texts. She used to teach primary school, then
ran a day-care centre. Since 2014, she has been an editor at Atlantis publishing house. She lives in

Sunny loves rain. When everybody else shelters under a roof, she grabs her raincoat and her
umbrella. Outside, she explores the colours of the clouds, the smell of clean air, the dampness on
her skin.
Fred the bear trots after her, grumbling and growling. But then, they hoof it through drizzles and
storms, they paddle through pools and splash in puddles. And when a ray of sunlight pierces the
clouds, the rain glitters in all colours.
Sometimes, it is actually not raining. Sunny is pleased, as this means it is about to start again soon.
The cheerfulness of the illustrations is infectious.
Forget about the weather report and enjoy this book!
It is nicer than any umbrella.
Cinta Villalobos, born in Santander, Spain, in 1983, studied art in Salamanca and Toulouse.
Because she had always enjoyed drawing and loved books, too, it soon became clear she wanted

«Sometimes I love you so much I wish there were two of you.»
«Why?»
«So we could hold hands on both sides.»
«Oh! But we can do that, even if there’s only one of me.»
Impish, dreamy, rapturous or quiet; surprising themselves and each other, «the Smaller One» and
«the Larger One» explore what it is like to be close to each other – to feel love, to feel at home.
Love is a universe. Love conjures up worlds of togetherness.
This is a story of creation. But a different one.
For children... and for those walking hand in hand.

Aunt Connie has brought Charles a conjuring set. «Nonsense», says Daddy when Charles tries to

Next morning, however, there are weirdly long whiskers growing in his face. At the office, his ears
attract attention, as do his front teeth.
Daddy is embarrassed by his metamorphosis. He goes into hiding. But he is tracked down by some
paparazzi – now there is no way back: He appears in talk-shows and becomes an advertising star
for Cooper’s Carrots. His family is getting tired of it all. Daddy’s last chance is to trust in Charles’s
and Aunt Connie’s conjuring abilities...

First, there is a knock at the door, then a muzzle pushes through the letter slot. «Good evening, would
you let me in, please? I’m catching cold out here!»
Franz opens the door to a dachshund carrying an umbrella.
A strange guest and an even stranger dog. He sounds hectoring, although all he wants to do is please
the boy. He fulfills every wish he thinks the boy might have, turning himself into all kinds of things,
before Franz finally gets a word in – «Dogs are my favourite animals!»
Now the dachshund has found a home, a friend and himself!

Knut Laaser, born in Berlin in 1981, studied social sciences in Hamburg and London, getting his

It’s freezing outside; surely, there is nothing to see.
But Mum says, «Let’s go for a walk! You never know...»
And then, it is the girl who discovers something.
«Look at this little fir tree!»
«Could it be a Christmas tree?», Mum asks.
«Yes, this is where the rabbits celebrate Christmas. They decorate the tree with berries and bits of
lichen.»
And so, a question-and-answer game begins, which, based on a child’s imagination, encourages a
dialogue when read aloud. The sequence of «discovery» and «explanation» is accessible to children
from a very young age. And the winter fairy tale at the end once again enumerates all the stops along
this quietly magical Christmas journey.
Narisa Togo, born in Japan in 1987, studied
ecology at the Tokyo University of Agriculture
and Technology before her interest in illustration
brought her to England. Studying children’s illustration at the Cambridge School of Art,
she sketched plants, birds and landscapes in her
leisure time.
She wants her books to reflect how fascinating
nature can be to children.

Sonja Bougaeva’s books are beloved by children as well as critically acclaimed and have been awarded
numerous prizes.
Everybody is afraid of Mrs B., especially the children. She loves to sit near the playground – all the
better to hate kids.One day, she watches a boy bullying a little girl. THIS scene touches a nerve and
makes Mrs B. remember, and we find out what she experienced and why she became the way she
is now. Now – in the present – Mrs B. stands up for the little girl and wins back her peace of mind.
Sonja Bougaeva’s pictures have the power to fascinate
not just by being drastic and witty; her brushstroke also
creates an atmosphere that is instantly recognizable.
Sonja Bougaeva, born in St.Petersburg 1975, now
living in Hamburg, studied book art and painting at the
Academy of Arts. Subsequently, she trained as a designer

Her first picture book was nominated for the German

Matt likes to play with his friend, Emil.
But Matt LOVES ballet dancing.
«Ballet is for girls!’, the other boys think. They are training for the football match against the
Bumpkinsville Bombers.
On the great day, Matt is only watching the game from the sidelines. But when their best striker is
injured and carried off the pitch, it is Matt’s turn - Matt, of all people! Matt, who is afraid of the ball!
But Matt quickly finds out how to bring his ballet expertise into play...
With wit and a light touch, Anne Behl captures the drive
and energy of the game.
Anne-Kathrin Behl was born in 1983. Her mother
being a bookseller and her father a forester, it is no
wonder she went on to study illustration at HAW in
Hamburg, and that she is particularly fond of drawing
animals. Today, Anne-Kathrin lives in Leipzig. Touring
with the satirical cabaret group teewurst, she sings
songs for grown-ups while also organising creative
workshops for children.

CAMPING - URLAUB MIT WIND UND WIRBEL. Eine Wimmel-Geschichte
English title: CAMPING – A WINDY, WHIRLING
HOLIDAY. A Hidden Object Book
2014
size 23 × 29,4 cm
3 years and up
Camping on the lakeside – the ultimate in summery delight and holiday fun (there is a lot going on,
even when it is raining!).
Our protagonist is a large – or, to children, a gigantic – inflatable crocodile. Carried away by the wind,
it sails through the pages, only to return at last, having a rest after the happy ending.
And, of course, there are many characters figuring throughout the book, each with his or her own
story.
Eilika Mühlenberg belongs to the school of illustrators picturing people of any age with an eye for
their eccentricities and with a sense of humour. She draws children and adults alike with much flair
for their everyday lives as well as for their holiday pleasures.
After The House Comes With the Cats, Camping is Eilika Mühlenberg’s second picture book published
by Atlantis – and very much inspired by the artist’s own life ...

Ben and Mia want to join the soapbox derby. They cannot wait to get started, so they ask the

help him sweep out his workshop in return.
The same thing happens with the youths tinkering with their mopeds, at the gardener’s and in the
grocery shop, where they ask for a box to use as their bonnet.
Giving and taking, working and tinkering ... and, finally, everybody is watching their first drive!

An autumn storm rips ten willow leaves from their twigs, carrying them away. One leaf ends up
in the water, others on the ground. People and animals welcome them: Children gather the leaves
to make little boats, lanterns and pictures. A squirrel carries a leaf away for its nest, a grasshopper
uses another as a life raft. And an earthworm finally pulls the last leaf underground: He eats and
digests it. The leaf becomes fertilizer for the willow tree which will grow new leaves come spring ...
Where do leaves fall? Never leaving a child’s world of experience, Anne Möller tells her lyrical tale
with great care – for the diversity of nature and the circle of life.
Also available: an English rough translation.

If people want to travel, they take the train, the car or even the plane. And for shorter journeys
there are bikes. Or our own feet. With plants this looks differently. But nevertheless they meet
at the most unexpected places. For example in the sand-box. Or in the gutter. How did they get
there? Plants travel as well. Overland and through the air. But plants don’t travel themselves, they
send their seeds travelling. Some seeds use the wind to fly away. Other travel with animals by
whom they are eaten. And in those places where the seeds are put down, new plants can grow.
For example in the sand-box. Or in the gutter.
Also available: all plant names in Latin.

Ein Sinnbild paradiesischer Schönheit
und Reinheit
Regula Moser
Realität und künstlerische Freiheit bei Alois Carigiet
Die touristische und verkehrstechnische Erschließung des Alpenkantons
Graubünden bringt seit der zweiten Hälfte des 19. Jahrhunderts große
bauliche Veränderungen mit sich. Nicht nur die Architektur, sondern auch
die Sicht der Fotografen auf die bestehenden Bauten ist neu. Erste Foto
grafen kommen um 1860 mit dem Aufkommen des Tourismus nach
Graubünden.1 Kunstaffine und wohlhabende Gäste verlangen nach pitto
resken Souvenirs: Berglandschaften, Grandhotels und Engadiner Häuser
sind gefragte Motive.
Das Dorf Guarda – Ende des 19. Jahrhunderts ein verarmtes Dorf – zeigt
diese Entwicklung exemplarisch. Indem Alois Carigiet sich dem Text des
Uorsin annimmt, wird der Bündner Oberländer zum Künstler des Enga
dins. Mehrfach weilt er während des Illustrierens, das sich über sechs
Jahre hinzieht, im Haus, das die Familie Könz seit 1939 in Guarda bewohnt.
Häuserfassaden, Einrichtungen, Tiere, Menschen und Landschaften ver
dichtet er zu einem EngadinBild, das mit seinem großen Wiedererken
nungswert zu einer der stärksten Werbebotschaften der Schweiz wird.
»Hoch in den Bergen, weit von hier, da wohnt ein Büblein so wie wir.
In diesem Dörfchen, arm und klein, ganz unten steht sein Haus allein.«
Das »Dörfchen«, von dem die Autorin eher unbestimmt schreibt, trägt in
Carigiets Inszenierung Züge von Guarda. Aber wie verhält sich Carigiets
Darstellung tatsächlich zur Realität? Seine Zeichnungen zeigen das kleine
Dorf bescheiden, aber idyllisch und »aufgeräumt«. Urslis Haus malt er mit
massiven Steinmauern, einem Eingangstor in den Sulèr, vertieften Fenstern,
einem Erker und Verzierungen in SgraffitoTechnik. Die kleinen Fenster,
die Carigiet genussvoll auf der Hausfassade verstreut, und die verzerrten
Perspektiven zeigen seinen künstlerischen Umgang mit Architektur. Da
sich die Häuser in Guarda wie eine Herde auf kleinstem Raum zusammen
drängen, ergeben sich tatsächlich merkwürdig verzerrte Hausformen. 2
Es gibt aber auch Unterschiede zur realen Vorlage: Bis in die Nachkriegs
zeit findet sich in Guarda kein freistehendes Haus. Das Dorf, das Carigiet
im Schellen-Ursli malt, ist in einer leichten Senke eingebettet und erinnert
in der Anzahl und Anordnung der Häuser eher an das ebenfalls im Unter
engadin gelegene Sur En. Wahrscheinlich aber handelt es sich schlicht um
ein »prototypisches« Engadiner Dörfchen, das aus verschiedenen Inspira
tionen künstlerisch frei dargestellt wird. Dem realen, auf der Sonnenter
rasse exponierten Guarda entspricht vielmehr das Dorfbild in Flurina und
das Wildvöglein und Der grosse Schnee.

A concise introduction to the complete works, a fresh look at ‘Ursli’ And we used to think we
knew Uorsin... … but now a team of experts has looked at Alois Carigiet’s works from a different
angle, finding intriguing new connections: The story by Selina Chönz is about Chalandamarz as
it is celebrated in the village of Zuoz while Carigiet’s pictures show the traditional festival taking
place in a different village: Guarda. Village depictions vary in the three Engadine stories, while
always reflecting the ‘local heritage’ ideal then propagated. A local mentor of this movement
was none other than the author’s husband, architect I.U. Könz. Anyway, these ‘timeless’ picture
books contain much more zeitgeist and cultural policy than anyone looking at them for the first
time would suspect. The book’s publishing date coincides with the opening date of the exhibition.
However, it is not a catalogue but an independent publication, developed in cooperation with the
Swiss National Museum. With essays by Felix Graf, Stephan Kunz, Dora Lardelli, Regula Moser,
Chasper Pult, Mevina Puorger, Hans ten Doornkaat, Christine Tresch and Rico Valär.

The illustrator draws a train, then its passengers. A pig wants to know what she’s called. Thus, a
story unfolds, the tale of a train journey full of meetings and surprises.
But then, the pig wants the artist to go back one page. It’s possible in a book – but in real life? A
wonderful story game, a story about a lovable, rebellious pig and about how stories may develop ...
and those who want to read more into it, will find hints in the pictures and on Kathrin Schärer’s
desk, for that is where the story begins!
