Picture Book Cinema: The Forgetful Fox

As part of the Wilhelmsburg reading weeks "Die Insel liest," Bürgerhaus Wilhelmsburg presents a picture-book cinema based on Martin Baltscheit's "The Story of the Fox Who Lost His Mind." The fox was once clever, fast, and knew everything a fox needs to know — but the older he gets, the more he forgets: the days of the week, how to hunt, even the way home.

Told gently and in a child-friendly way, the picture-book cinema is about dementia and growing older, but above all about how important a community is that leaves no one behind. A great starting point for families to talk with children about memory, forgetting, and caring for one another.

The picture-book cinema screens at Bürgerhaus Wilhelmsburg, an open neighborhood center in the Reiherstiegviertel with a wide-ranging family program.
