Children's book reading | from 10 years
On a starry summer night, Toni and her best friend YumYum use their homemade cosmic radio to transmit into the sky in order to contact Toni's deceased mother. Toni misses her mother very much, and space expert YumYum is keen to experiment. Well equipped - especially with snacks - the two experience a night full of surprises. Instead of their mother, they are answered by astronaut Zanna from a space station. They philosophize with her about existence and longing, but above all about the great life on planet Earth that gives us so much comfort and joy.
