Die laute Hedda
Description:
Hedda is a noisy child, at least according to her dad. He spends most of the day in his study, well, working. That means he's concentrating on scribbling important things, talking on the phone, or listening to the news. And Hedda's noise bothers him. Hedda finds this very strange, because her dad never complains about the neighbor's barking dogs, the sputtering motorcycle outside the window, or the thumping washing machine in the kitchen. They really do make a racket. She, on the other hand, is just playing! Football in the hallway, for example. Of course, that can be quite loud. It's also clear that she has to shout "Boo!" really loudly when playing scary games, that she can't blow quietly into Grandma's trumpet, and that Skitty, her broomstick wild horse, just happens to clatter its hooves. Hedda has to find some way to pass the time with a dad who's always rubbing his temples, working all the time, and never playing? Hedda thinks it's really annoying that Dad is always asking her to be quiet, and it makes her very angry. And extra loud. All the anger about the injustice and Dad's busyness comes out. Hedda stamps her feet and yells and cries much louder than the washing machine, the dogs, or the motorcycle. An important story for children and parents Encourages reflection on needs and compromises Great, contemporary illustrations Dad is shocked! By the effect his behavior has on Hedda. He doesn't want Hedda to always have to take a back seat. Dad comforts Hedda, and the two of them discover that there are really good times to be loud together. Or quiet. An important book for parents and children that shows how we can be considerate of each other and keep everyone's needs in mind
