Grimm's Weather Cardboard Book from Oskar's Wooden Ark was created in collaboration with the German illustrator Sarah Settgast. The 26-page board book uses 24 lovingly designed illustrations to tell stories about the weather and everything associated with it.
The chosen themes are spelled out from our Grimm's Wooden Letters and frame each illustration in both English and German. Sarah Settgast illustrated almost 100 of our wooden toys and then included them in her illustrations using the collage technique. There is a lot to discover in this book because anyone who loves Grimm's Wooden Toys will happily search for the many toys made in our workshops that are hidden in the illustrations.
Even little ones will enjoy looking at and telling stories together. The capital letters are wonderful for early learning and also for the introduction to foreign language learning in primary school or at home. And of course, the board book is a delightful decoration for every season table. An experience for the whole family and for all the senses!
About the Author:
Sarah Settgast is a glasses designer, freelance illustrator, author and publisher. Born in the small Brandenburg town of Kyritz an der Knatter, she now lives in Berlin with her 7 and 8-year-old children. Her style is influenced by the Waldorf tradition.

As a German raising two littles in Australia it's at times hard to find educational books written in German. Love that this has both languages so my kids can make the connection between the German and English words. Lovely illustrations!
This book is a beautiful accompaniment to the weather set. Bonus that the words are in English and German and the photos feature other Grimm’s characters. Love it!
This most is great if you are taking on the Montessori approach to learning about dressing and weather systems. Matcha grimms wood blocks.
I have been looking for a first bilingual picture book to expose my son to deutsch. This book did not only meet my needs, but it contains great illustration!
