For a few days now, the boy has been in this new country, where everything is different from home. Everyone has come along and now they all live together in a single room: Mom and dad and the baby; only King, the boy’s dog, is not there. Not yet, because “King is still coming" (original: “King kommt noch”), says mom, and so the boy passes the time by carefully examining this new country. He speaks all the odd things he discovers into the wind telephone, so that King can hear them and already know what to expect. Why, for example, do people here put dog poop in bags? And who is the woman from the yoga yogurt shop? Will King come soon to help the boy solve these mysteries?
Realistic and magical at the same time, this story is about arriving in a foreign place. The author Andrea Karimé tells in her children’s book King kommt noch what it means to feel like a stranger and to cope with loss. In eight rousing songs by Ulrich Kreppein and Saleh Katbeh, the children’s choir joins the story.
