Stories open doors to new worlds
On Saturday, October 24, 2026, the children's library of the Göttingen City Library invites you to a cozy storytime session. Sigrid Backhaus will read from Ecce's reveries – Ecee's Daydreams by Claude-Hélène Mayer. Families will experience a child-friendly learning experience filled with imagination, curiosity, and quality time together.
A journey through different cultures
The focus is on the story of a little boy named Ecee, who embarks on journeys at night with his friends Sheepy and Bobby. Together they discover adventurous places and meet various people around the world. The tale combines imaginative listening with intercultural education and encourages children to approach different ways of life with openness and curiosity.
Reading enhances imagination and language development
A storytime session creates a calm, protected environment for children and their families. By listening, children expand their vocabulary, develop inner images, and experience language in a lively manner. Immersing together in a story supports concentration, imagination, and social learning experiences in an age-appropriate way.
Cozy family time at the reading podium
At the reading podium of the children's library, it will be cozy: children and adults will take their seats, listen to the voice of the storyteller, and let themselves be carried away by the story. Laughter, wonder, and little conversations about what they've heard turn the storytime session into a warm family experience. The event will take place indoors at the City Library.
Free and without registration
Participation is free and does not require registration, as long as seats are available. Families can come directly to the children's library in the Thomas-Buergenthal-Haus. The storytime session begins at 11:30 AM and is expected to last until 12:30 PM.
Conclusion: Reading, marveling, and discovering together
Storytime in the children's library combines cultural education, fun learning, and valuable shared time. Ecee and his friends take families on an imaginative journey through different cultures. Those who want to inspire children’s love for stories will experience a relaxed and inspiring storytime in Göttingen.
