First Readers

Rico and the Streetlight Scarf (vol. 1)

by Andreas Steinhöfel, illustrated by Lena Winkel

Rico thinks differently from other kids. Slower, around the corners. Then he gets lost in a labyrinth of thoughts. And sometimes he gets lost, too, when he’s out walking around corners – a real problem in a big city like Berlin. And what will happen when he starts going to school? And is there even a school for Rico? One where he can just be the way he is?

Heartwarming prequel to Andreas Steinhöfel’s successful Rico and Oscar series. This first-reader volume is perfectly suited as a stand-alone book, however.

Volume 2 is due in October 2024.
