Read-Aloud Day 2026 with Fee Krämer

"HÄNK – A Hamster Dreams of Space"

Germany’s biggest reading festival is coming to us again! National Reading Day delights children and adults alike with stories that spark the imagination, impart knowledge, and—along the way—promote language development. At the Archenhold Observatory and the Zeiss Grand Planetarium, authors such as Sandra Bayer, Fee Krämer, and Cally Stronk invite you to listen, dream, and discover.Reading with Fee KrämerFee Krämer, born in Heidelberg in 1984, explored children’s books from many different angles before she began writing herself. Today, she publishes with various publishers and lives with her family in Berlin.“HÄNK – A Hamster Dreams of Space” (Thienemann-Esslinger Publishers)Off to Space—A Hamster Suddenly Becomes a Hamstronaut!Are hamsters just fluffy little creatures that stuff their cheeks with grain? Think again! What nobody knows: Hamsters are way ahead of humans, and in just a few days, the time has come—they’re setting off on the first mission to Mars! For Hänk the hamster, though, this isn’t his thing. He loves space, but he’d never dare climb into a space capsule. But then he becomes an unwilling part of the Mars mission! With the help of his friend Inge, he actually manages to overcome his fears. (Not) a small step for Hänk, but a giant leap for rodents!
