FREITAG.VIER DAS WUNDERBARE WEIHNACHTSRIESENRAD. Weihnachtslesung für Kinder mit Sven Gerhard

In the organizer's words:

A steam-powered Ferris wheel that can fulfill every imaginable Christmas wish? That doesn't exist - or does it? Jul is the biggest Christmas fan imaginable. He loves the run-up to Christmas and especially the wonderful Christmas market right on his doorstep. This year there is an unusual attraction: a nostalgic, steam-powered Ferris wheel. According to the billboard, Christmas wishes are supposed to come true there. Jul is skeptical at first. But when he makes friends with Feliz, the owner's granddaughter, he realizes that all sorts of miracles really do happen around the Ferris wheel... A magical and beautiful Christmas story in 24 chapters!

Sven Gerhardt (*1968 in Homberg (Efze)) worked as a graphic designer and illustrator for several years after training as a media designer. Through his enthusiasm for drawing, he finally found his narrative voice - even though as a child he could easily be described as a bookworm. Today, he works as a freelance author and has made it onto the bestseller list for children's books with his adventures about the "haystack rascals". He lives with his family in Marburg - where every year during Advent there is a wonderful giant Christmas wheel, which may - or may not - have served as inspiration for the author's latest children's book.

A cooperation event with the Giessen City Library
