Gross werden mit den Schlümpfen #[1]

Part of the charming "Gross werden mit den Schlümpfen" (Growing Up with the Smurfs) series from Splitter Verlag, this 2021 entry tackles a very relatable childhood feeling. The cover says it all — a wide-eyed little Smurf peers anxiously over the edge of a blanket, clearly not thrilled about the darkness beyond, in a sweetly expressive illustration that immediately invites young readers in. "Der Schlumpf, der Angst im Dunkeln hat" looks like a warm and reassuring read for any child who's ever pulled the covers a little tighter at night.
