A girl and her little brother go to school. Their way leads them through a birch forest, across the river, the fields to the city. Along the way, they pick up their classmates: from the fishing lodge, from the farm, from the car repair shop, from the circus, from the bakery and from the pet shop. The reader trudges along enthusiastically with this merry band and tries to guess who will be picked up next. When they arrive at school, they discover that the teacher has overslept. Quickly turn back the pages to discover him! Julie Völk uses her very own visual language to tell the story of the great importance of a walk, its social function, and how much fun it is.
