"What Matters, Is You - Jungle Vienna"

Feel it, behind the trees, between the leaves, an animal is waiting. It is big and strong and monstrous – I believe: It is like me. Look, I want to tell you about us. About dancing paws. About resting in soft fur. About jumping dots. About how I count. And how I can be big and strong and everything, 1, 2, 3, 249 – and so can you.

A child, a dancer, and a musician encounter a cheetah on stage. Playfully, musically, in poetic images and languages, and always with the support of the young audience, they bring to life, point by point, the sensitive and artistically illustrated picture book "What Matters is You" by Magda Hassan and Raffaela Schöbitz, which was awarded by a specialist jury in 2022 as "one of the most beautiful books in Austria."
