The book is divided into 12 stories—each with a theme such as friendship, loneliness, or disappointment. The stories impact even if you just read them as a simple children’s story. Children always learn and learn quickly. If you tell the stories in the evening, when your child is already a little tired and, above all, relaxed in bed, then the content will migrate into the subconscious, and your child will learn from the stories in their sleep.
But your child will probably start to ask questions while reading and just talking together about how Isidore sometimes feels different from the others, sometimes feels excluded, is occasionally angry, and makes many mistakes, which will help your child to develop an awareness of the diversity of feelings.

Author Bio:
Do you know this feeling: you have some free time, you switch your cell phone to flight mode, take the book that has captivated you for days … and then the outside world disappears?
I think you know what I’m talking about. Otherwise, you wouldn’t even bother reading an author’s bio!
I’ve always been a reader.
I didn’t have to try it – reading was just there; it was happening.
On Saturday afternoon, as a child, I went down the hill to the town library by myself, brought back my seven books and took seven new books with me. I did that for years, every Saturday.
I don’t know whether this made me lucky or not. It’s hard to say which is better: being carried along by your inevitable passion for something or having to work at it enough that eventually, the desire burns bright. All I know is that it was around my thirteens anniversary when life started to make less sense than ever before.
And again, it was reading books that have helped me over the tough time of adolescence: I have found Kafka, Sartre and Camus and many others. Thanks to them, I did not feel like an alien anymore.
Their gift to me was a sense of freedom, consolation and company; they gave me what my day-to-day could not: a sharp look at society, a different angle on what was happening and naturally also escape. Words on a page were gateways to other worlds.
The step, to write books, I dared only in 2020, when the pandemic made me reflect about how much longer I wanted to wait until I finally would do the step and to share my visions and my knowledge with the world also through writing books.
Now, at the end of 2021, I have written three books.
One about health, one for kids and how to become a hero and the one for adolescents, is the first volume of a fiction series about communication with animals and again a hero-journey in a magic world.
This one, I had begun to write already years ago, but I wrote only some pages here and then. It was 2020 that had woken me up to really go for it.
Here are some words about my life:
I was born in Austria in the Alps. For many years, I was together with my four sisters, happy with the wild nature around us, the snow in the winter and in summer, we went to Corsica, where we loved the uniqueness of the island and where we met people from all around the world.
Then, after my high school diploma, I passed six months in Hawaii. There, I had my first experiences with holistic techniques like fasting, creative visualisation, Feng shui and I ate only fruits and vegetables, picked up at latest six hours before
Coming back to Austria, I have dedicated my time to studying. I have worked as a journalist, and therefore I had the time and money to do this: almost ten years, I have studied whatever I was curious about: Three years in medicine, two years in law, some years in philosophy, anthropology and so on. But all these studies did not satisfy my hunger for truth, for inspiration, for sense!
This was the moment when I had discovered Buddhism, Yoga and holistic healing.
In this world, I felt more at home, but still, the world was an enigma, and I was still looking for something that would explain why I was here and where do I come from.
It was after I have moved to Italy, where I still live with my partner and our son, that I became an apprentice of a shamanic path. It was now 18 years ago, and still, I am at the beginning. It is about alchemy, magic, nature, leadership and how to wake up.
These teachings – you will find traces of in all my books – above all, the teachings of nature have become my main source of inspiration.
Professionally I have worked for the last twenty years with children and adolescents from difficult backgrounds. During these years, I was able to see how important it is to see the treasure in everyone. And if a child has the opportunity to find someone who not only talks about feelings but also listens without judgment, then they will open up more possibilities for themselves as well.
I have created an international Training Center for Counsellors and teach nonviolent communication skills and holistic self-growth since 2005.
The older I get, the better I get in following my heart, and as I said, the pandemic has really transformed me. It is thanks to this world situation that I do not want to lose time for things I am not passionate about.
I decided to have more courage to say my truth, to stand for my values and above all: not becoming prey to fear, but to trust God and the Universe, that there is happening nothing by chance. We just can not see the bigger picture.
Ok, my dear reader, that’s it for the moment. I hope you like or love some of my books. In 2022 there are coming others!
As the Hopi tell in their prophecies: we are the one we have been waiting for!
