„Tigerträume“ (Tiger Dreams) is published in German at luftschacht in Vienna.
The publisher writes:
"Leo was really no ordinary bird. He found the chirping and trilling and singing of the other birds boring enough to fly away. These same old songs! He preferred to indulge in his daydreams, which unfortunately he couldn't tell anyone about, especially not the other birds. Because Leo dreamed of a wild cat friend. Leo loved cats. “I’ll tell the cat about my dreams,” Leo decided excitedly, “she’ll like them!” With lovingly weird humor and bright arabesque images, Julian Tapprich tells in his picture book debut Tiger Dreams about the adventures of the little yellow bird Leo, who, after his friendship with the neighbor's cat didn't really work out, sets off on the long journey into the jungle . There are supposed to be really big, wild cats there, for really big, wild dreams. Tiger dreams!"
