THANK YOU

This book would not exist if it was not to the help of some very special friends. Kerstin helped me building a storyline and finding a writing style in German (I had never written more than a single page in German before…). She digged deep in my memories and feelings to bring up all the little details and emotions I would not have dared to write into this book. Thank you for encouraging me to share so many little details and guiding me along the way. Thank you so much for making this dream come true and letting me live this journey again in such a special way.

Ela aka Bärbel Panther – my amazing co-worker who turned the written words in an artwork. She spent hours and nights to select THE perfect font (many of the capital letters reflect the beautiful shape of the koru), setting the text, designing the cover and illustrating the entire book. She turned “a little help for a friend” into her own passionate project. It is the most beautiful wrapping for the text I can imagine. Thanks for everything! Also for the heart attacks when you completely redesigned the cover five times after we had agreed on it… 😂
