Having fallen in love with grown-up but little Bambert, who sends the stories in his "Book of Wishes" out into the world tied to hot-air balloons, powered by tea lights, I wanted to let him know that all eleven, including the last story, the one that is going to write itself, have been found. Not to mention thoroughly enjoyed. This book is whimsical in the best way and the writing is pure and clean; deceptively simple yet complex. Translated from the German.
