Reading with Inga Marie Ramcke
Inga Marie Ramcke loves science and people. Her books, workshops, radio features and the science communication project ‘Plötzlich Wissen!’ are all about gaining new insights in a fun way. Hand puppets are her tool of choice for conveying facts interactively – for children and adults alike. She is a member of the Hamburg-based Elbautor:innen.
‘The Astronaut Next Door. A Journey from the Nursery to Outer Space’
Oh no, Maya’s ill, and the holidays are just round the corner! Instead of going to stay with her grandparents, she has to stay at home. Worse still: all her friends are on holiday, Dad’s away on business and Mum has to work. There’s no one to look after Maya. Except perhaps Josi! She’s usually very busy, but right now she’s got a few days off – from her astronaut training! Who better to help with training like this than Maya? At least, that’s what Maya thinks. Before long, Maya’s bedroom turns into a space station and Maya becomes (almost) an astronaut.
