Tagline: "A journey from silence to sound — and from sorrow to hope."

Description: Lennon – The Miracle of Music is a moving children’s story about friendship, loss, hope, and the healing power of music – told from the perspective of a sensitive dog. Lennon lives with his loving owner Claudia in a magical Bavarian village. When Claudia turns her Bed & Breakfast into a children’s home, Lennon becomes a quiet observer of many young lives shaped by loss. But when traumatized refugee children from Syria and Afghanistan arrive, everything changes. Amid language barriers, grief, and cultural differences, the children – and Lennon – discover a shared language: music. With heart, humor, and empathy, this book explores the themes of tolerance, unity, and the universal power of melodies to connect us when words fail.

Target Audience/Perfect for:

For anyone who believes in the power of music and humanity

Themes: For schools, educators, and parents who want to explore empathy, trauma, and inclusion in a child-friendly way. A beautiful story for anyone who believes in the power of music and humanity.

Values Conveyed: “Lennon – The Miracle of Music” is a heartfelt tale that teaches empathy, inclusion, courage, and the healing power of music. It encourages children to embrace diversity, build emotional resilience, and find connection beyond language.

My Voice for the Voiceless: “Music is the language of love – and love is all we need.” The power of music unites humanity, while politics and religion often divide us. If people learned to care more about what others feel than what they say, the world would be a far better and more peaceful place. With a little love, empathy, understanding, and emotional support, we can create both small and great miracles.

My Voice for the Voiceless: Anyone can become a refugee! Anyone from any country, level of education and income can become a refugee. This is the message of this educational story for the Lily4Refugees Project. We should never judge people and their life stories.

We should never point our fingers at others; instead, we should look at our own actions.

Description: “Lucie – The Smell of Silence” is a powerful, emotionally charged story told through the eyes of a once-happy family dog whose idyllic life is shattered by war.

Solidarity: we rise by lifting others, especially the voiceless

My Voice for the Voiceless:
War does not only destroy humans but also animal’s lives. It also destroys the beauty of nature and sets countries back from improving for decades if not centuries. Unfortunately, anyone can become homeless. Anyone can become stateless. Anyone can become an undocumented refugee. When you lose everything you have and everyone you love, there is only one thing that keeps you moving forward: hope and the belief in a better and safer future. This is the message of this educational story for the Lily4Refugees Project.

Dies ist die Geschichte eines unglücklichen und vereinsamten Hundes, der hilflos und verängstigt auf ein Wunder wartet! Hope erzählt ihre spannende Lebensgeschichte und wie sie aus einer hoffnunglosen und schrecklichen Lage gerettet wurde.

Meine Stimme für die Stimmlosen
Dies ist ein Lehrbuch für das Lily4Refugees-Projekt. Die Geschichte von Hope soll jungen Lesern die Bedeutung von Hilfsbereitschaft, Liebe, Fürsorge und Freundschaft vermitteln. Es ist auch ein Weckruf an Regierungen, Gesetzgeber und unsere selbstsüchtige und herablassende Gesellschaft, Flüchtlinge einzubeziehen und in ihr Flüchtlingsland zu integrieren, anstatt sie zu ignorieren und auszugrenzen. Jeder einzelne Flüchtling verdient ein Zuhause. Jeder Flüchtling sollte unterstützt werden! Wenn Menschen in der Lage sind, Tiere ein Zuhause zu schenken, sollten sie auch in der Lage sein, Flüchtlingsfamilien eine Heimat und eine Zukunft zu bieten.
