“Winterkind and Mr. Jemineh” is the first children’s book by Marion Brasch, who was a guest in Rheinsberg in 2015 as a town clerk.

“One cold winter morning, the girl Winterkind woke up in the winter town. She rubbed her eyes, yawned, stretched and waited. But nothing happened. She yawned and stretched again, but still nothing happened. Only when Winterkind had yawned and stretched for the third time did a whining voice come up. “Oh my goodness! Stop it, I’m already awake!” This is how the adventurous story of Winterkind and Mr. Jemineh begins – a man as tall as a finger with a hat who lives in Winterkind’s pocket. Although Mr. Jemineh is usually in a bad mood, he is Winterkind’s best friend. And sometimes he has an idea when the girl doesn’t know what to do. The two meet interesting people, find magical things and finally board a ship that will take them to the end of the world. They learn about beautiful and sad feelings and that you can do funny things with words. A novel full of crazy ideas and funny dialogues that inspires children to discover the magic of words and invent their own stories. The book was illustrated by Elinor Weise. Marion Brasch reads aloud and shows pictures.
