In einem Park trifft Franz auf Saskia und ihre Mutter. Das Mädchen ist ganz verzweifelt, weil es sein Püppi verloren hat. Um Saskia zu trösten, erfindet Franz eine Geschichte: Die Puppe sei gar nicht verloren gegangen, sondern verreist, und werde ihr bald schreiben. Und tatsächlich bringt Franz in den kommenden Wochen Post von Püppi - von fernen Orten. Aber wird die Puppe wirklich zurückkommen zu Saskia? Die Geschichte basiert auf einer Anekdote, die über Franz Kafka erzählt wird. Bernadette hat sich davon zu einer warmherzigen Erzählung inspirieren lassen. Mit altmeisterlichem Vergnügen begleitet sie ihre Figuren durch den Lauf der Jahreszeiten und führt sie an Schauplätze in fernen Ländern.

"Varenka lives contently in her cottage in the woods, until passersby warn her that war has broken out. Pack up a bundle and come along with us. But Varenka can't leave. Who will care for the children who wander and get lost in the forest? Who will shelter the animals and feed the birds when winter comes? Soon, Varenka shelters a young artist, an old farmer and his goat, and a lost child. And each night she prays for a wall to be built around her house to protect her from the soldiers who draw nearer with each passing day. Things seem dire until Varenka notices a gentle sound all around the house. Snow. Could it be enough to save them?"--

"Every snowflake has a dream. While the other snowflakes boast about their plans to travel on to glamorous and far off destinations-- the most beautiful mountain in the world or atop the golden pinnacle of the jeweled dome of the castle, St. Basil--the smallest snowflake simply longs for someplace special...someplace warm. The snowflakes fly over oceans, parting wa ys over mountains and red roofed farms, until at last, the smallest snowflake finds her home. And when spring finally arrives with snowdrops and unexpected friendship she knows that she has fulfilled her destiny."--Provided by publisher.
