The book with a song
Kiri Rakete sings “Wie ich will” (“Whatever I Want”)
A song, or rather a beat, came into my head straight away as I read and marvelled at this book. It’s a book that dances and sings: try it out!” – Kiri Rakete, songwriter
Living books sing and dance! Heut, da bin ich eine Maus by Franziska Höllbacher is just such a book. And now there’s the song “Wie ich will” (“Whatever I Want”) to go with it – written and sung by one of Austria’s best-known writers of songs for kids: Kiri Rakete! The song is available on all popular streaming platforms.
Available on Spotify!
