Sprache ist etwas Lebendiges. Wir können fühlen, wie sich das ändert. Teile davon werden alt: Sie fallen ab und werden vergessen. Neue Stücke knospen aus, breiten sich in Blätter aus und werden zu großen Zweigen, die sich ausbreiten.

A living tree is a changing, sleeve shape, a wet, thin, bright green creature that survives in the thin layer between heartwood and bark. It stands waiting for light, which it catches in the close-woven sieves of its leaves.

A love of books, of holding a book, turning its pages, looking at its pictures, and living its fascinating stories goes hand-in-hand with a love of learning.
