Tümpel

Pond

Generation Kplus 2023

A huge school of fish swims synchronically through the sea. Until greedy seagulls disturb the formation and a small fish strays into a tidal pool. The animals that live there eye him suspiciously. A fart ensures goodwill, and friends are quickly made. With pictures, colours and the sounds of the sea, Lena von Döhren and Eva Rust create a fast-paced underwater adventure.
