With amusing illustrations and child-friendly language, the book shows the ideal world of Mr Peppers, a modest self-sufficient farmer who lives in harmony with nature in the countryside, as well as the hardships that this traditional way of life without electricity and modern resources entails. The humanised young broom Bobby, who has little arms and can speak, is his best friend. In the course of the story, Professor Rashly appears as a counterpart who, driven by quick fame and greed for attention, thoughtlessly invents useless things and uses his modern knowledge inappropriately.<\/p>\n

Without pointing fingers or heavy-handed punishment, the professor is ultimately persuaded to change his mind. The reason for his change of heart is provided by Mr Peppers and a special natural product. Thanks to his new friendship, Professor Rashly increasingly learns to appreciate the benefits of nature and to use his inquiring mind with care. In return, the professor teaches Mr Peppers about the benefits of science and technology, which, in an environmentally conscious and well-measured way, will make his everyday life easier.<\/div><\/div><\/div>

The story is still unpublished. I would love to find a native English speaker to translate the original German version into English with the appropriate humour, wit, and charm to make this extensive work accessible to an English-speaking audience. The art of rhyming verse is also required in certain passages of the text.<\/p>\n

I would be very pleased about your interest in my work. Thanks for contacting me via the contact form<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Educational background:<\/strong>
\nThe themes of \u2018environment and nature\u2019 and \u2018social interaction and friendship\u2019 are dealt with in a child-friendly way. The story has a subtle socio-critical background without being overtly moralistic. The story is not about good versus evil, but about a harmonious (healthy) interplay between the two opposites. Technology and progress are helpful if used prudently. Modern solutions to support and preserve the environment and nature are shown in a playful way, as are the benefits for people through respectful interaction.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
